GIRAFFES CAN'T DANCE

What is Gerald the giraffe good at? In his eyes, all the other African animals possess special talents, especially on the dance floor. Gerald is most dejected as the annual dance exhibition begins. Luckily, a cricket’s voice catches Gerald's ear. Billy Dee Williams narrates enthusiastically while letting the rhyme and rhythm take center stage. The musical accompaniment is lively, even before the dance starts. As animals exhibit their specialties, the orchestra keeps pace—from a waltz for the warthogs to the cha-cha for the chimps and even a Scottish reel for the apes.
