The Stripe Painter and His Zebra Friend

A cheerful man kneels beside a zebra, brush in hand. His wide-brimmed hat and patterned poncho tip toward the zebra as he concentrates. Thick paint drips from the bucket, and he carefully swishes a fresh stripe along the zebra's side. The zebra stands steady, ears up and eyes bright.

The halter rests softly on the zebra's face while wavy stripes curve around his neck and legs. The man smiles under his mustache, pausing mid-stroke like a careful artist. Big, clear lines leave roomy spaces for bold colors and soft shading. The scene feels friendly and calm, with lots of stripes to finish.

Fun Fact!

A zebra also has great hearing; it can turn its large ears in almost any direction to listen for danger.
