The Chickadee and Room Service Giraffe - E-book - ePub

The story began one sunny spring day when a young giraffe named Raffe who lived at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo decided that he wanted to make something more of himself.  While it was fine wandering around the zoo greeting visitors and munching on the lettuce which they fed to him and his family, he wanted to leave the zoo and work at an exciting job, one where he helped others have fun and achieve their hearts' desires.
 For a long time, he had gazed in the distance at the beautiful buildings of the Broadmoor Resort and longed to become part of all the comings and goings which he observed, for everyone looked so happy as they arrived at its front door.  So, when the Broadmoor Resort decided to open its training program to anyone who showed promise of being able to meet its exacting standards, Raffe applied.  He had worked hard in school, was good at sports, and had volunteered at the local animal shelter where less fortunate animals of all kinds lived until they could be adopted. There were written tests, interviews, and role-playing games.  These were to help management determine if applicants had what it took to work well with all kinds of guests, even the most challenging ones.  Raffe excelled at all the tests and was eventually hired as the first room service giraffe.  He was fitted for a uniform and assigned to a mentor to teach him all they knew.
