“…and the Pygmies, who had spent their entire existence in a dense jungle, looked over the cliff and saw several giraffes walking through the forest hundreds of feet below. Many of them ran away in fear, as their limited view of the world caused them to interpret what they saw as a world inhabited by tiny giraffes. We should all remember, when faced with an unfamiliar situation, just how terrifying a tiny giraffe can be.”
