The Little Zebra


Once upon a time, there lived a little zebra.
He came from a good family that loved
him very much; but as the zebra got older
he noticed that he looked different, so he
went to his mama and asked her why,
" Mama, why do I look different from you?
My stripes cover my whole body. My stripes
are black and white. Your color is just black, 
and dads is white. Why?"
" Son you are the best part of me and your
father and we love you very much."
" I know that mama, but it's just that when I 
go around my friends that's like you, they 
want me to choose sides, and when I'm 
around my friends that look dad, they want 
me to choose a side too. I get so confused 
and I don't know who I am."
" The world can be so cruel. They get caught
up on the outside forgetting that we are all 
the same in the inside. The outside is the only 
difference . But son when it comes to your 
friends,just be uniquely you. You are a part 
of me and your daddy mixed. And we both 
created you. You don't have to choose nothing
 be you."
"Mama, the world wasn't prepared for me, but 
you sure prepared me for the world. I love you, 
mama."
" I love you too, son. Run along; your dad will 
be home soon."





The End

Moral of the story  “Know thyself so that when others tell you who they think you are, you won't be confused about who you really are because you already know.”
