Greedy Zebra This is a story from the beginning of time. The animals live in the jungle. They look different from animals we see today because they haven t got coats. They are all a dull grey colour. One day, a big cave opens in the ground. The lion and the elephant look in the cave. They see something incredible! In the cave there are a lot of new coats of different colours: red, orange, green, brown, silver and gold. There are big coats, small coats and tiny coats. The lion and the elephant tell the other animals about the cave. All the animals go quickly to the cave. But Greedy Zebra stays by the river eating grass. He likes eating a lot. I have got lots of time to visit the cave, thinks Greedy Zebra. Lots of time. 1 Read and match the questions with the answers. 35 42 1.What colour are the animals? 2.What do the animals find in the cave? 3.What does Greedy Zebra like doing? He likes eating.

Greedy Zebra eats and eats. Suddenly, he sees a flash of orange. It is the tiger, and she is a beautiful orange colour with black stripes. Do you like my new coat? asks the tiger. It s from the cave. Oh! thinks Greedy Zebra. I want a new coat, too. So he goes to the cave. On the way, he sees a small bush. Yum, yum. Greedy Zebra really likes eating. He eats the bush and goes on his way. But soon he sees a bit of grass, and then another. Delicious! From time to time he sees other animals. They are all wearing beautiful coats. The giraffe is yellow and brown, the lion is a gold colour, the snake is red and green, the flamingo is pink. Even the crocodile is a wonderful green colour. I want a red and gold coat and a pink tail, thinks Zebra. He has a last bite and runs to the cave. Of course, Greedy Zebra is the last animal to arrive. But where are the colourful coats? There are only a few pieces of black skin. Zebra cuts the pieces and makes his coat. Oh, no! he thinks. It s very small. Zebra puts on his new black coat. It s very tight! Greedy Zebra goes to the river and has a bite of a bush. Pop! His coat opens. He has another bite. Pop! And another. Pop! Pop! The black coat opens and his fat, white tummy sticks out. Today we can see the zebra s fat tummy sticking out of his coat because he is so greedy. 1 Read and colour the animals. 36 2 Read and circle T (True) or F (False). 1.Zebra likes the tiger s coat.
