Giraffes Go Diving

Giraffes Go Diving

I am aware of how to wright for an audience and to support the main idea with detail and comment.

I was quietly going about my daily job as a security guard at the Palace of Pools swimming complex, when I heard an unusual clip-clopping sound. The sound become louder and louder and got closer and closer. The strange noise sounded like animal hooves, but I felt confused because animals clearly don’t go swimming! What on earth could it be?  

I turned towards the huge row of camera screens on the wall behind me. My eyes nearly popped out of my head like popcorn bursting out of the pot!  On the screen that showed the lower hallway, I saw not one, but several gigantic giraffes casually strolling along the corridor!!

I watched with amazement as these gentle giants made their way up the spiralling ramp. They paused for a moment at the top. I wondered what they were going to do next…...

A few seconds after they paused they went strolling again to the top of the spiraling ramp, up the top there was a silver gate to a springy diving board. They all lined up still in a spiral, it looked like a spiral of yellow with brown spots. Several more have had added to the line every time they all moved forward. The first giraffe opened the gate with its foot and nose, finally it got loose and opened. Then the giraffe got to the edge of the board. Then you heard Sproing Sproing Sproing! The giraffe leapt off the board and into the bubbling clear water, and the next giraffe did a forward flip before hitting the water with a big SPLASH. Lots of other giraffe did the same thing. SPLASH... SPLASH... SPLASH!

After the giraffes had four or five turns each they calmly climbed with their long skinny legs and ran back up the spiral ramp like a cat chasing its tail, back to the changing rooms. WOW what a sight that probably will never happen again.
