The Little Zebra

Once upon a time there was a little old man named Budro who loved visiting the zoo.

Budro lived in the swamp and would visit the zoo every chance he would get.

Budro loved going from cage to cage and seeing all the different kind of animals.

The zoo had animals from all around the world!

There were elephants, kangaroos, tigers, bears, and so many more living at the zoo.

But his favorite of all was a little zebra that lived way in the back of the zoo.

Day after day Budro would notice the little zebra just wondering around in his cage and he felt sorry for the little zebra because he was locked up in the zoo.

Budro had a idea that he would set the little zebra free.

So he asked the little zebra if he wanted to be free, free, free.

The little zebra did not know what being free meant because he had always lived in his cage.

But the little zebra told Budro, sure I would like to be free.

Budro was so excited and told the little zebra to just wait a moment while he got his pickup truck and he would help him be free, free, free.

So Budro drove his pickup truck next to the little zebras cage and opened the door and the little zebra jumped in the back of his truck.

Budro drove the little zebra down to the seaside and the little zebra jumped out of the truck!

Budro told the little zebra, here at the seaside you can be free, free, free!

I will come check on you in the morning to see if you like being free, free, free!

And Budro left the little zebra all alone at the seaside.

Early the next day Budro drove back to the seaside to check on the little zebra.

He found the little zebra just standing there not doing anything with a sad look on his face.

Budro asked the little zebra...what is the matter? Don't you like being free, free, free? The little zebra just shook his head and said no. Then the little zebra said: I have no water to drink, I have no food to eat, and I have no place to lay my head down and sleep.

Please take me back to the zoo little man.

Budro said I have another place I am sure you will like being free, free, free. So they got back in the pickup truck and headed off once again.

Budro drove the little zebra to the desert and told the little zebra now you can be free, free, free!

The little zebra jumped out of the pickup truck and Budro told him he would be back the next day to check on him.
