Giraffe
Giraffe is the tallest animal known. It lives in the arid savannas of Africa where trees are plentiful. There it grazes on the crowns of small treetops eating broad leaves and towering over all the other animals. They have a crown on their head, two bones covered with skin that look like horns. They are really antenna ears, like the tiny bones in our ears, picking up big vibrations of sound to warn the giraffe of any danger.
If giraffe is your animal ally, he may remind you that there is a better view of a situation from above. Looking out from a place above the treetops will enlighten you faster than if you get stuck in the mud with the little things that bother you. Small events that interrupt you from getting what you want can piss you off for sure. Does your brother's hockey game interfere with your plans to get your parents to give you a ride to the school dance? Giraffe will teach you that other's plans often don't support yours. This is true for the world too. Which has the highest value, hockey or the dance you may wonder? Or is my brother more important to my parents than I am. Giraffe wants you to understand not to misinterpret the situation. Hold in your heart the highest ideal for the greater good of everyone. And that your parents want a happy ending for both of you. Never jump to a conclusion that is way off base. Expect the best and it will happen the way you imagine or even better than you imagined. And low and behold someone will arrive at the dance early and have time for a coke with a friend before the dance even starts.
Giraffe holds the signature of honor, self-esteem and pride for its wisdom and understanding. "You are smarter and wiser than most earthlings", say Giraffe. You can spot a problem with your friends coming around the corner. Be helpful by being understanding and offering your wisdom as advice to others who need your help. Always offer a gentle glance that says your heart is open to them. You may not be the most popular kid in your neighborhood, but you are the wisest.
