The Great Escape of Jimmy the Giraffe

St. Oliver Plunkett Primary School, P6

Once upon a time there was a giraffe called Jimmy. He absolutely hated the zoo, so he decided to escape. 

After he escaped from the zoo, the zookeepers were looking for Jimmy. The chief of the zoo said on the walkie-talkies, “This just in: Jimmy escaped. The zoo is on lockdown!” 

Jimmy went up in the hills looking for grass, and he found George the Magic Monkey eating cheeseburgers. 

He told George all about wanting to go and meet his family in Africa.  

Jimmy said, “I am trying to look for my family. I just escaped from the zoo and I was wondering if you could help me.” 

George said, “I’m a wee bit busy over the weekend helping other animals, but I will try to help you.”  

“I’m really hungry!” said Jimmy. “Can you please help me? I haven’t eaten in FIVE WEEKS!” 

The monkey said, “Okay, I can help you. But what do you want to eat? I can spawn infinite cheeseburgers.” 

Jimmy said, “I don’t like cheeseburgers! I’m looking for nice grass to eat. Can you please throw away the cheeseburgers and help me?” 

The monkey said back, “Let me finish my cheeseburgers before I help you.” 

George the Magic Monkey spawned the cheeseburgers and said, “Hurry up and eat the cheeseburgers.” The giraffe ate them, and then they travelled up three mountains. On the way to the airport, Jimmy said, “My family has nice grass to eat, but because you gave me the cheeseburgers, I’m too filled up to eat it.” 

They decided to steal a plane because they didn’t have any money. They distracted the security guards. George dressed up as an old lady, and the giraffe dressed up as a wall. When they got into the plane, they found out the plane wasn’t working. George the Magic Monkey had an idea. He was going to use the cheese as airplane fuel. 

George the Magic Monkey said, “Get a pilot, and we’ll offer him however many cheeseburgers he wants to fly us to Africa.” 

George the Magic Monkey got spotted by guards, but he hit them with cheeseburgers...
