The sun slowly began to set on the African planes. It was around the time when the heat began to cool down and when all the animals began to relax. Two zebras lay down underneath a near by tree to cool themselves off a bit more. Their names were bob and Rob. They were both twin zebra brothers. Bob was loudly sleeping next to rob while Rob sat there softly chuckling at Bob.
Just the week before, Bob and Rob had made a bet that the reason for nobody going near him had been because he smelled really bad. He was such a slob that he somehow hadn’t noticed his horrible smell. Bob thought that it was Robs fault for being, what he thought of him, a snob. The truth about Rob was that he was hoping that with all those rude and snobby comments bob would get some sort of hint. Once Rob had won the bet Bob was forced to take a bath in the lake nearby. Bob was so scared that he had almost broken his bet. Rob had enough of Bobs smell and so did everyone else. He was not going to let Bob ruin his own chance to learn what it was like to be clean. Without knowing it, as soon as Bob turned around to run away, Rob ran as fast as he could and pushed Bob into the water. As he looked back at Bob splashing in the water furiously, Bob was screaming at him in anger. Bob was mostly upset because he had gotten water up his nose.
Rob looked down at Bob who was snoring up a storm and hoped that he understood that what he did was out of the kindness of his heart to help his brother.
Looking back again he remembered something else.
Bob had gotten out of the water every zebra that saw him was gaping. They were so amazed that they all thought that they were hallucinating. Bob was not only clean, he was sparkling clean! The girls were all over him and even some of the guys invited Bob to play a few games. Rob had gone way off in the distance isolating himself from the other zebras. He had looked back at his brother and the rest of the group and smiled. He was happy for his brother and glad that he was able to make friends so easily.
Snapping out of it, Rob looked down at Bob once more. This time Rob quickly turned his head away in disgust. But it was not Bob he was disgusted at, it was himself. He had realized that he was envious of his brother for being so social and outgoing and Rob really hated how shy and isolative he was towards others. The only thing that he ever got close to, other than his brother, was dancing.
The loud snoring next to him had lighted a bit which only meant one thing, Bob was waking up. Bob’s eyes slowly began to open. Rob knew what was coming next. For some reason Bob always enjoyed Rob’s dancing first thing when he woke up. Bob had even made a special name for it. He called it “break dancing”. The reason he called it that was because a long time ago Bob had tried to dance just like Rob but ended up breaking himself. Well the truth was he only broke his left ankle and he fell flat on his face.
Bob knew Rob’s dancing was very special because when all the other zebras dance it was completely different. Bob called their dancing Ballet because it required a lot of balance. Bob also knew that Rob was very shy and isolative but he never forced bob into doing something he didn’t want to do. That is until he realized that it had gotten up to the point that it had become a serious matter. Bob remembered that Rob had helped him with his problem and now it was his turn to do something in return and he knew just how to do it.
The next morning Bob got up very early for a morning walk alongside the lake. He saw a dirt road up ahead and remembered seeing a weird moving metal thing with some foreign animal species with two eyes, a weird nose, a mouth and hair only at the top of their heads. Some were dark colored and others were light and some were even small and short. But one thing was for sure many of them were pointing their paw things at us and a lot of them were say “oooooooh! Aaaaah! Looook!” and they gasped as they saw us. A male one of those had dropped a cool looking head gear that he wore on his head. Bob looked through the grass and found it. He decided to call it a “hat” because he remembered one of those weird animals say it. Bob grabbed that hat and ran off all the way back to Rob.
“Hey Rob! Look what I found! Isn’t this cool? You wear it on your head and I call it a hat”. Bob said smiling. Rob started to laugh hysterically, although not even Rob could say it was not cool. As soon as Rob had calmed down he took the hat and put it on his head. Rob walked over to the lake to look at his reflection. He had a strange vibe coming from himself like the spirit of dancing. He thought it would look so cool if he danced with the it. Rob was so happy with the hat, and the spirit he has gained from it, that he started to break dance. But what he had not noticed was everyone around him watching. All the zebras turned to look at Rob and they were shocked at this foreign dance. Everyone began to clap for Rob. When he had finished dancing all the zebras came running up to Rob exited and amazed at his dancing. Everyone wanted to learn how to dance like Rob. Just as quickly as Bob had run back to Rob, he had made many friends and was happy, all because of a hat and Bob’s brilliant plan. When the day ended, the two brothers walked over to their favorite tree and started to laugh. They knew that this was the beginning of a wonderful yet weird life for the two of them and that there were more good things coming ahead.
