Activity 6 George was the scruffiest giant in town. He always wore the same old clothes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day he bought some new clothes from the shop. He left his old clothes behind.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He met a giraffe with a very cold neck. He gave the giraffe his tie as a scarf.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He met a goat who lost his sail in a storm. He gave the goat his shirt as a sail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He met a mouse family whose house had burned down. He gave them his shoe as a house.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He met a fox who lost his sleeping bag. He gave the fox one of his socks as a bed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He met a dog trying to cross a bog. He used his belt as a path over the bog.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His trousers fell down and he felt very cold.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He returned to the shop, but it was closed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He found his old clothes outside the shop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He felt cosy when he put on his clothes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The animals gave George a crown and a card to thank him for his kindness.
