On a rainy day, the old boat slips into the sea, secretly. The more he goes into the sea; he swallows more water until he is drawn down to the bottom. There, the old boat is so fascinated by the things he sees at the bottom of the sea, that he stays in that place. In ‘Everyone Laughed’ a giraffe wants to drink some water but the alligator laughs at his long legs, when he tries to play in the jungle the monkey laughs at his tall figure, and in the same way the reindeer laughs at his long neck. Things carry on like this until one day the giraffe picks up a bird’s nest which had fell and puts it back on the branches. Now everyone is delighted and they thank the giraffe.
