Hey, Papa.
Isn't the giraffe cold?
Dad: He must be cold. A lot colder than us.
He's actually from a much hotter country.

Boy: Why did the giraffe come here?
Dad: Well, so he can see the children of countries giraffes can't normally see.
Boy: Then why
isn't anyone coming to see him?

Go buy some carrots at the entrance.

Bars: The white zoo in the evening
was enveloped by the light of the fireflies overflowing from the speakers.

Bars: One slips into my ears and whispered to me.
Souta: Why?
Why is it here?
Dad: For the children.
For the children.
Bars: I realized......... Maybe
the one that sewed them in place was me?
Both my father as well as the giraffes.........

Hurry and give those carrots to......

Dad: I see.
It's because it was the three of us here last time, huh............?
I guess I reminded you of that.
Sorry.
Bar: to this place so far away......
Dad: Let's go get something you like to eat, Souta.
What would you like?
Hey, Souta.

Text: <Winter Giraffe>
I saw a winter giraffe at a big park in Izu.
There was a little snow and its breathe was white. I thought a lot when I looked at it.
Probably a little too much, so it appeared in Honey and Clover, too.
The Ferris Wheel in Volume 2 is from the same park.
