Abstract: en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the second level. The back cover identifies it as an old folk tale from Namibia. The story's ending surprised me. A greedy baboon claimed a pond selfishly as his own and drove away all other animals. Only the first zebra resisted. The baboon built a fire to keep others away. The zebra charged the baboon and upset both him and the fire. The sticks of the fire marked the zebra, and the baboon landed with his bottom on the fire. So zebras have stripes and baboons have red bottoms! The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
