A beautiful white horse lived in the forest and was admired by all the animals. One day, while hunting a tiger, the horse was attacked. Nearby indigenous people heard the commotion and threw black spears at the horse and tiger. The horse was left with black and white stripes, becoming the first zebra. This explains how zebras got their distinctive striped pattern.

1. How zebras got their stripes
By Isabella and Cody

2. Far away in the middle of
the forest, there once
lived a beautiful white
horse.

3. It was so beautiful, all
the animals in the
forest loved her.

4. All the animals lived around
the white horse. The horse
was the only brave hunter in
the forest.

5. One day the white horse
went out on her daily
hunt. But this daily was
different, this time she
went deep in to the forest
to catch a tiger.

6. Once he got to the
deepest part of the
forest she started
searching for the tiger.

7. Suddenly the white
horse hears a loud
roar.

8. Something rustled in the
bushes. The tiger pounced
from the bushes and
attacked the white horse.

9. From a far, the indigenous
people heard the loud noise
and ran towards the noise
with their black spears.

10. Once the people reached
the tiger and the white
horse the tiger fled like a
girl but the white horse
stayed to fight.

11. The indigenous people
started to throw black
spears at the white
horse.

12. Now the horse had black
and white stripes on her
and that is how today we
have zebras.
