When I was a little girl, I used to believe that if I didn't use the zebra crossing on the white stripes I would die in the lave. So everytime I saw a zebra crosing I walked just on yhe white stripes. Now when I see a zebra crossing I still think about this belife but I resist and I don't walk on the stripes !
