Good exploration of relative heights of animals. A little too much repetition and the very simplistic plot is somewhat flawed - why does the frog need to ask the question once it has reached the giraffe? The punch line mirrors the rest of the story and left me pondering the hypothesis of whether a frog would survive a fall from that height.
