How Zebras Got Their Stripes

How Zebras Got Their Stripes

Long, long ago there were no zebras. But there were a lot of donkeys. The donkeys worked hard each and every day.

They had no time to play or to relax. It was just work, work, work.

The donkeys carried heavy bundles. They carried the bundles for miles, but they never felt appreciated for the work they did.

One day two donkeys got fed up. They decided they did not want to work all the time. Instead, they wanted to graze in green fields. They wanted to drink from clear streams, and they wanted to lie on soft grass.

The donkeys went to see a wise old man. They told him their problem.
