"George the giraffe loved the circus. He thought it was full of magic. He loved watching the giant elephants and the daring acrobats."

"One day, George decided he wanted to practice some circus tricks himself. He started with a simple trick, balancing a ball on his long neck."

"George worked hard and managed to master the trick. He was so excited, he decided to show his friends."

"Next, George wanted to learn how to ride a unicycle. He thought it would be fun to cycle around the grasslands."

"But riding a unicycle was harder than it looked. George fell down a lot but he didn't give up. He knew with practice, he would get better."

"After a lot of practice, George finally managed to ride the unicycle. He was so proud, he decided to organize a small circus show for all his friends."
