It’s not for nothing that they say that any miracles are possible on New Year’s Eve. Just imagine: you decide to buy a goose to bake it in honor of the holiday. And when he defrosted, he turned out to be... a real giraffe! This is exactly what happened at the home of Professor Maximilian Farr-Transformatsky, whose family will be discussed in this book. His grandchildren Glasha and Grisha place a giraffe in their nursery and give him a completely human name - Fedya. At first, their new spotted friend feels just fine in a city apartment. But it soon becomes clear: the giraffe is growing very quickly and after some time it will no longer fit anywhere. But if only this! Fedya also gets sick - right before the New Year. On top of that, they want to take the giraffe to the zoo... The author of the story “About the Giraffe Fedya” Natalya Nusinova is a Doctor of Art History, a leading employee of the Research Institute of Cinematography of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.
