The tale of the giraffe, the pelican and the monkey, who set out to prove they are the best window cleaning company around.

Who needs a ladder when you've got a giraffe with an extending neck?

The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company certainly doesn't.

They don't need a pail, either, because they have a pelican with a bucket-sized beak.

With a monkey to do the washing and Billy as their manager, this business is destined for success.

Now they have their big break — a chance to clean all 677 windows of Hampshire House, owned by the richest man in all of England!
