Woodrow convinces Riley Jones, the man in charge of the giraffes, to let him drive the rig. Woodrow follows the giraffe rig through two states, until the driver of the rig runs away, spooked by a kick from the giraffes.
Woodrow instantly falls in love with the giraffes and decides to follow them on their journey to California, where Woodrow has heard there are rich new opportunities. A 17-year-old named Woodrow, newly arrived from the Dust Bowl (the Southern Plains region of the US, affected by severe drought at the time), watches in awe as two giraffes are brought to the harbor amid the storm. In 1938, an enormous hurricane hits New York, killing people and upending ships.
