小朋友们，你知道吗？很久以前斑马身上是没有斑纹的，后来来了一直狒狒，然后就发生了一件事，于是斑马的身上就多了斑纹了，快来听听这个故事，看看到底发生了什么？

《How Zebras Got Their Stripes?》

斑马的斑纹怎么来的？

This story is about a greedy baboon, a pond, a giraffe, an elephant and the very first zebra.

这是一个关于一只贪婪的狒狒，一个池塘，一只长颈鹿，一头大象，还有世界上第一只斑马的故事。

Long ago, there was a greedy baboon.He lived by a pond.

很久很久以前，有一只贪婪的狒狒。他住在池塘旁边。

He wanted the pond all to himself.Everyone was thirsty.Baboon didn't care.

他想把池塘占为己有。大家都很渴了。狒狒一点也不关心。

Giraffe crept to the pond.

长颈鹿悄悄来到池塘边。

Baboon roared.

狒狒咆哮着。

He waved his arms and jumped up and down.

他挥舞着手臂，上跳下蹿。

Giraffe fled.

长颈鹿跑开了。

Elephant went to the pond.

大象来到池塘边。

Baboon roared. He jumped up and down and waved his arms.

狒狒咆哮着。他上跳下蹿，挥舞着手臂。

Elephant fled.

大象也逃走了。

Zebra walked up.Baboon roared.Zebra stamped his hoof.

斑马走了上来。狒狒咆哮着。斑马跺着自己的蹄子。

"It's not your pond," he said. "You must share it."

“这不是你的池塘，”斑马说道，“你必须和大家一起分享。”

"No!" said Baboon. "Go away."

“不！”狒狒说道。“走开，离远点！”

Baboon got lots of sticks.

狒狒找来许多树枝。

He piled them by the pond.

他把它们堆在池塘旁。

Then he lit a big fire.

然后点燃了一团大火。

"Now everyone will stay away!"

“现在所有人都会待得远远的了！”

Zebra wasn't scared.He ran at Baboon.He kicked out his legs.

斑马一点也不害怕。他冲向狒狒。踢了狒狒的腿。

Baboon flew into the air.So did the sooty sticks from the fire.

狒狒飞到了空中。火焰中被烧黑的树枝也飞到了空中。

The sticks landed on Zebra.Baboon landed on his bottom.

树枝落在了斑马身上。狒狒则是屁股着了地。

Ever since then, zebras have had black stripes. And baboons have had red bottoms.

于是从那时起，斑马的身上就有了黑色的条纹。而狒狒呢，就有了红屁股。

最后的小科普：

问：斑马到底是黑底白纹还是白底黑纹？

答：

斑马是“黑肉底”，黑毛和白毛相间。

综合一下查到的各种资料，斑马原本是深色的动物；斑马的毛发是黑色与白色的；毛中的色素不存在于皮肤中。可以近似的认为是“黑底白条”。
