BR 2-28 How Zebras Got Their Stripes

    I read"How Zebras Got Their Stripes", so I will talk about the story. Long ago, there were a greedy baboon, a giraffe, an elephant and the very first zebra. Greedy baboon lived by a pond. He wanted the pond all to himself. But everyone was thirsty. One day a giraffe and a elephant went to pond, but baboon roared, so they fled. One day zebra walked up. Baboon roared, but zebra stamped his hoof. So few days latter, baboon got lots of sticks and lit a big fire. But zebra wasn't scared the fire, so he ran at baboon, he kicked out his legs. Baboon flew into air. The sticks landed on Zebra and Baboon landed on his bottom. So ever since then, Zebras have had black stripes and Baboons have red bottoms.
