The Little Red Hen and The Tall Yellow Giraffe

In class we have been retelling the story of the Little Red Hen using actions in the style of Pie Corbett. Some of us have been brave enough to stand up and retell the story to the whole class.
We had a visit from a very friendly hen called Cluck Cluck and although she wasn’t very red or very little, we were able to look closely at her legs, feet, beak and feathers.

We have had a go at making dough, just like the little red hen.

This week we have decided to rewrite the story using a new main character, the tall yellow giraffe. I wonder how many of you can remember the words and actions?
This is how it goes.

Once upon a time there was a tall yellow giraffe who lived in the jungle. Early one morning, she woke up and went outside. There she found some banana seeds.
“Who will help me plant the banana seeds?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me water the banana seeds?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me pick the bananas?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me carry the bananas to the bakers?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me mash the bananas with a fork?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me mix the bananas with the butter, flour and sugar?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me bake the banana cake?” said the tall yellow giraffe.
“Not I” said the cheetah.
“Not I” said the elephant.
“Not I” said the monkey.
“Oh very well I’ll do it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.

“Who will help me eat the banana cake?”
“I will” said the cheetah.
“I will” said the elephant.
“I will” said the monkey.
“Oh no you won’t, I’ll eat it myself” said the tall yellow giraffe, and so she did.
Four leaf clover, my story’s over.
