Gigi Goat had two small horns. One stood tall and straight. The other tilted like a tiny hook. It wasn't broken or wrong. It was simply a little crooked.

Each morning Gigi peeked into the pond. She sighed, 'Why don't my horns match?' The water wiggled, and her worries wiggled too.

On the sunny hill her friends jumped and laughed. Gigi joined but hid her head. 'Will everyone stare?' she thought. 'Will they laugh at my twisty horn?'

Friends hurried to help. A hoof scratched. A nose nudged. A stick poked. Nothing worked. The itch stayed and Tutu wiggled like a worm.

She took a brave step. 'I can try,' she whispered. Gigi lined up her crooked horn and rub-rub-rub, scratched the exact itchy place.

Warm pride bubbled in Gigi. Her horn wasn't odd—it was useful! Soon a little line formed. Each friend got a gentle scratch and a happy grin.

More goats trotted over. 'My ear tickles!' 'My shoulder too!' Gigi laughed and helped them one by one until everyone felt comfy.
