Zara the zebra was born without any stripes—just soft, white fur from nose to tail.
While the other zebras played, she often felt shy, wondering why she looked so different.
One day, she wandered into the tall grass and saw her reflection in a pond.
A butterfly landed on her nose and whispered, “You’re special just as you are.”
Feeling braver, Zara joined the herd and danced under the bright sun.
The sunlight made her shine like a star, and all the animals turned to watch.
“Wow,” said a young zebra, “she looks magical!”
Zara smiled wide, finally proud of her one-of-a-kind coat, and ran with joy through the open plains.
