Synopsis
In a time when all animals wore dull coats, they discovered a cave filled with vibrant furs and skins. Each animal selected a splendid new outfit, but Greedy Zebra, arriving late after indulging in a snack, found only a few black stripes remaining. Squeezing into them, his new coat burst open, leaving him with the distinctive stripes we see today. This delightful tale explains how the zebra got its unique appearance.
