     Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police offices Hankins and Pearson. There men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”?

     A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.

     “The Giraffe Project” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “giraffe” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his and her head back; instead, they tell people to “stick their neck out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored.

     Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a palace to    keep warm and they decided that should “stick their neck out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.

     Police offices Hankins and Parson work in a large city, They see crlmes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to star an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the  ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered,“We’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don’t you photograph a sunrise.” she suggested,“and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bridge sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”
