Once upon a time, far in the jungle there was a group of tigers. But there was only one problem. They didn’t have any stripes.  The youngest tiger wanted stripes badly. So he did something about it. He went to the top of the mountain and asked the gods.  He asked them if he could have stripes. They said,” If he goes to the black lake and gets black water and brings it back to the top of the mountain he and his friends would have stripes.  So he went to the Black River and got black water and brought it back to the top of the mountain. Something funny happened.  Lots of sparkles came around him.  Poof!  He had stripes and all of his friends had too.  They were all happy.  And they lived peacefully in the jungle.  That’s how tigers got their stripes.
