In the forest, everything was great and everyone was happy before Jemima came there. Jemima was a very tall giraffe with a long neck. She was the nosiest and the most gossipy (爱说三道四的) animal in the forest.
She liked to watch everything and told everyone what was going on. That made so many animals unhappy. They had a meeting and decided to teach her a lesson (给她一个教训).
At that time, Big Bongo, the monkey, decided to move to a new house. Jemima was so curious about the new house. One night she walked quietly to Big Bongo’s bedroom window. The window was open and she put her head inside. She was just on time to see Big Bongo leaving the bedroom. So, Jemima put her head further in so that she could follow him to the next room. It was dark in the house and she couldn’t see very well, but she followed Big Bongo into another room, and then another ...
At last Jemima couldn’t follow Big Bongo any more. Her neck wasn’t long enough. Big Bongo ran around his house, and Jemima’s neck was in a tangle (纷乱).
Then all the other animals came to the house and told Jemima what they thought of her. Jemima’s face turned red. She decided that she would not use her neck to poke (干涉) into the lives of others.
