How Tiger Got His Stripes


Once upon a time their lived an orange tiger named Toby. Toby lived out in Russia.
He was very hansom. He lived with a clan of tigers and he was leader of the pack.
One day the tigers were ambling through the bushes with Toby leading when he stumbled on a
sharp piece of metal, and a net fell down upon him. He was stuck and had no idea what to do.
The other tigers asked him if they should stay but he said to go hunt for food as planed so one by
one they all left him alone.
For hours he whimpered hoping someone would hear his whimpering and someone did. Not who
he wanted to though.
The hunters had come back to check on their trap armed with a stun gun and they heard the
whimpering. As they came upon the trap they saw the humongous orange tiger.
When he saw them, he began to growl to scare them off so they shot him with their stun gun.
Then left and came back with their truck. As the men tried to lift the tiger into the truck they
accidently knocked black paint on to the tiger.
He woke up struggled and escaped back to his clan. In the security of his tiger clan he went to
the water to wash the paint off but it stuck. It had formed stripes on his fir.
And that is how tigers got their stripes. It started with Toby being captured and black paint
accidently being knocked on to him forming stripes. After that whenever Toby had offspring, his
offspring were all born orange with black stripes.
