One morning, the giraffe woke up feeling very uncomfortable. "I need to see a doctor!" He hurriedly ran towards the Forest Hospital.
However, when he reached the hospital, the giraffe was at a loss - his head was taller than the fourth floor! "How am I supposed to go inside to see the doctor?" The giraffe became so anxious that tears streamed down his face.
"Don't worry, don't worry," said the Dean, Dr. Panda, rushing out, "Could you please stand by the window? I'll immediately arrange for the doctors to examine you."
The window on the first floor opened, and Dr. Rabbit poked his head out: "Let me feel your feet."
The window on the second floor opened, and Dr. Goat poked his head out: "Let me tap your stomach."
The window on the third floor opened, and Dr. Frog poked his head out: "Let me touch your neck."
The window on the fourth floor opened, and Dr. Mouse poked his head out: "Open your mouth, let me check your tongue."
After the examination, the four doctors conferred briefly. Then, they brought out a large plate of leaf cake and a big cup of water, saying to the giraffe: "This is the medicine we've prescribed for you. Please take it right away!"
The giraffe munched on the cake with an "Ah-um, Ah-um," and gulped down the water with a "Gulps, Gulps." Immediately, he felt much better. "It turns out I was just thirsty and hungry!" The giraffe was extremely delighted. He wanted to thank the four doctors.
Smiling, the giraffe gave Dr. Mouse four kisses on the cheek. "One kiss is for you, and the other three please deliver to the other doctors!"
"Alright!" Dr. Mouse scurried up to the third floor and gave Dr. Frog three kisses on the cheek. "These are the giraffe's kisses, one for you, and the other two please deliver to the other doctors!"
"Alright!" Dr. Frog hopped over to the second floor and gave Dr. Goat two kisses on the cheek. "These are the giraffe's kisses, one for you, and the other please deliver to the other doctors!"
"Alright!" Dr. Goat trotted down to the first floor and gave Dr. Rabbit one kiss on the cheek, "This is the giraffe's kiss!"
"Really fragrant!" Dr. Rabbit said happily.
