The Zebra

One day, a zebra wondered if he was black with white stripes or white with black stripes. 

So he went to the monkey and asked him if he knew what he was. The monkey said: " Go ask the wise owl, then come back and tell me what he said"

So the zebra went off to ask the wise owl. When he saw the wise owl he asked him the question.

The owl said " You are what you are". So zebra went back to monkey and told him what the owl said.

" Well that means that your white with black stripes", the monkey said. " If he would of said You is what you is, then that meant that you were black with white stripes".
