Gerald's heart skipped a beat at the thought of his dream coming true. He eagerly followed the wise old elephant through the dense jungle, until they came across a tall tree where a wise old owl with large, attentive eyes sat perched on a branch. "Meet Hootie," the old elephant introduced the owl. "He's the wisest owl in the entire jungle, and I believe he can help us." Hootie the owl blinked his large, attentive eyes and looked at Gerald. "So, you want to fly like an eagle, young giraffe?" he asked in a deep, raspy voice. Gerald nodded, his eyes full of hope. "Yes, but I'm just a giraffe. How can I possibly make that happen?" Hootie nodded his head knowingly. "You may not have wings, young Gerald, but you have a heart full of determination. Together, we will find a way."
