Tiger and Zebra make fun of Leopard’s spots.
“Why don’t you come in?” asked Heron, who had stayed in the water until he was blue.
“We want everybody to see our fine, new suits,” answered Zebra.
“Come on!” cried Little Monkey. “Bathing suits were made to get wet.”
So Tiger and Zebra stepped into the water and followed Little Monkey.
“Tiger,” cried Little Monkey, turning around, “you must keep your mouth tightly shut.”
(Every time Tiger got near Little Monkey his mouth flew open.) This made Little Monkey very nervous, for Tiger had big, sharp teeth. When Tiger was not scaring Little Monkey, Zebra was kicking the water over the poor, little animal, which was doing his best to teach his pupils how to swim. The other animals and birds got out of the water and sat upon the beach and laughed and laughed at the fun which Tiger and Zebra were having with Little Monkey.
