The Giraffe and Hyena were friends, to begin with.
Am not sure as of now but without being inclined, u can say they were indeed friends.

Once a time, the Queen Elizabeth national park a game reserve where they lived was hit by extreme drought. All the green plants dried, all animals vacated to other areas of kibale, but the giraffe and Hyena decided to remain as they were not used to forest life

One day after failing to get food for a day, they decided to move on, as they did, they took a sight at flourishing and stunning crops and livestock in Mubuku irrigation scheme.
They came up with a thought to get there and steal some food.
However it was absurd to realise that there was River
Mubuku that they had to cross first.
It was not far than they came up with an idea for
The giraffe to carry the Hyena on his back so as to cross as the Hyena was to short to manage the water

They successfully crossed and made way to the fields in which they ate all they could.
After a while the Hyena started whooping, a sound made by Hyenas.
The whistling and whooping sound filled the field, the giraffe notified the Hyena to mentain silence but the only response was, Hyena has to sing whenever is satisfied.
In a blink of an eye the farmers gathered, the Hyena was good at hiding and hid on a mango tree and couldn't be found. The giraffe was captured, beaten and chased to go as he was tall enough to hide.

To his surprise as he almost reached the River, Hyena alarmed don't leave me, the giraffe waited and had Hyena on his back and began crossing.
At the midst of the River, the Giraffe informed Hyena that it was a custom of giraffes to bathe whenever he is satisfied, the Hyena pleaded not to but all in vain ,as soon as the giraffe began swimming, the Hyena drowned.
From there, the relationship ended and enmity loomed.
