« Don’t worry Doudou, answers a mother zebra, this stupid warthog plays the same pyjama trick to all the newcomers ! Our beautiful stripes keep us from the tsetse flies.
- The tsetse flies ?
- Yes the mother zebra says, the tsetse fly's sting is very dangerous, it brings the sleeping sickness. Fortunately, flies are frightened by our stripes. Be very careful not to be stung ! Keep from wearing blue colour, it is the colour they prefer.
- Thank you for the advice, Doudou answers. Next time I will come with a striped pyjama !!! »
