#5: Zebra

One day, a white horse brought Arthur to meet a zebra.

Horse: "Isn't she amazing? I wish I had stripes like hers. Then maybe she'd notice me!"

Arthur: "I can paint stripes for you! Leave it to me!"

Arthur began painting black stripes on the horse. It was a breezy, peaceful day on the open plain.

As Arthur painted, the warm breeze made the horse sleepy. Before long, he dozed off.

While Arthur was still painting, a white otter walked by. Arthur looked up—and froze.

It was love at first sight! Arthur was completely smitten and forgot all about the stripes.

After a while, the horse woke from his nap, stretching happily.

Horse: "Arthur? Are you done?"

He looked around, but Arthur was nowhere in sight.

Horse: "Where did that little guy go? Did he finish my stripes?"

NEEEEIGH! The horse turned and saw Arthur's "masterpiece." His eyes went wide.

Horse: "ARTHUR!!!"
