the tiger. “It’s from the cave.”
“Oh!” thinks Greedy Zebra. “I want a new
coat, too.” So he goes to the cave. On the
way, he sees a small bush. Yum, yum.
Greedy Zebra really likes eating.
He eats the bush and goes on his way.
But soon he sees a bit of grass, and then
another. Delicious!
From time to time he sees other animals.
They are all wearing beautiful coats.
The giraffe is yellow and brown, the lion
is a gold colour, the snake is red and gree
n,
the flamingo is pink. Even the crocodile
is a wonderful green colour.
“I want a red and gold coat
and a pink tail,” thinks
Zebra. He has a last bite
and runs to the cave.
Of course, Greedy Zebra is the last animal to arrive. But where
are the colourful coats? There are only a few pieces of black
skin. Zebra cuts the pieces and makes his coat. “Oh, no!” he
thinks. “It’s very small.” Zebra puts on his new black coat. It’s
very tight!
Greedy Zebra goes to the river and has a bite of a bush. Pop!
His coat opens. He has another bite. Pop! And another. Pop!
Pop! The black coat opens and his fat, white tummy sticks
out. Today we can see the zebra’s fat tummy sticking out of
his coat because he is so greedy.
