Rob, based on the search I did, it looks like it's referring to "Little Green Riding Hood", a short story/parody by Gianni Rodari originally published in 1965 under the title "Telling Stories Wrong" and renamed when it was reprinted in 1973, and republished several time since. The story at that link hits most of the details in the example, including the giraffe, the child correcting the storyteller, and the storyteller sending the child off to buy gum at the end. The example also specifies that it's a short story, so that's another matching datapoint.
No need to go back and make the change, I did it for you since I was editing that page for something else already.
