2. There once was a giraffe called Geoffrey. He lived with “Take her to the

them no more milk (honey flavoured, mmm) and Princess
Fiona said she must be sold.
So Geoffrey set out to the market with Winnie
White as instructed by Fiona. (And he didn’t even
put his fingers up his nose once!)
On the way to the market he met a little elf who
introduced himself as Dobby and said to Geoffrey:
Geoffrey said a tearful goodbye to Winnie “Don’t go to the market

But his mother was not quite as impressed as Geoffrey had Thanks Dobby, they
been! “You silly giraffe!” she screamed, “how could you look ace! I’ll take

are we going to do now?!”
But Geoffrey went outside and secretly planted the magic
LEGO. He went to bed, and crossed his hooves.

3. In the morning Geoffrey opened his window, and outside, to his astonishment he
saw a huge beanstalk growing from where he had buried the LEGO in the ground.
It was so tall that he couldn’t see the top! Geoffrey was so excited he went right
outside and began to climb it to see how high he could go. He climbed past
the roof of the house, the tops of the trees, and through the clouds. He kept
climbing until at last he reached the top and found himself outside a great
castle in the sky. He could smell the most delicious breakfast cooking,
and he was so hungry he followed his nose into a giant kitchen.
All of a sudden he came face to face with an
enormous potato shaped woman!
“Giraffe boy!” she bellowed. “What are you doing
in my kitchen? Don’t you know my husband Mr
Potato Head eats giraffes like you for breakfast?” Then “I’ll ‘ave them toys,’’ The giant
said, and with a giant trump away
“Eeeek!” said Geoffrey, and tried to run for cover. Geoffrey fled.
“It’s OK,” Mrs Potato Head said. “I won’t let him “Quick, hide!” called Mrs Potato Head,
know you’re here if you don’t make a sound.” and she popped a lampshade over

“You don’t have one this morning, dear,” said Mrs Potato
Head.
“You’ve got a bacon sandwich and that’s all you’re
getting,” she snapped.
As the Potato ogre tucked into his breakfast, Geoffrey
tried to make his escape – he took off the lampshade and
ran for it! But the ogre stopped eating his breakfast,
looked around with his eyes as big as dinner plates, and
said:
Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!

They drove at full tilt down the beanstalk, Geoffrey hanging on
