Summary

The rains have arrived in Africa. A giraffe tries to shelter under the baobab trees, but his neck is too long and his head sticks up above the treetops.
 
The other animals make him different hats to keep his head dry. But no matter how hard the animals try, each new hat is a disaster.
 
But then, a little mouse stops by. And he just might have an idea that will save the day!
