When I was a kid I had never seen any exotic animals until I went to the zoo, then I could see all the animals I saw in cartoons. When I saw the zebra I got very excited and said, "Wow a Zebra! A Zebra!" about 100 times. My big brother said, "That's not a zebra, that's a horse in striped pajamas." Dejected, I sat down and said, "Oh. I thought it was a zebra." My brother got yelled at by Mom for that one, and for many years I was never was sure when a zabra was really a zebra.
