Why Cheetahs Have Spots

4th Grade Pourquoi Tales 2022

It was a peaceful day at the savanna, and Little Blonde Cat was at Giraffe and Lion's den. “How did you get your cool pattern?” Asked Little Blonde Cat. “Um… I… don't remember,”said Giraffe. &nbsp;“ What about you, Lion?” Asked Little Blonde Cat. “How did you get your cool mane?” “ Um… I… don't remember.'' Little Blonde Cat was bummed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Lion saw that and said,&nbsp;“If you really want to get a pattern, go ask Elephant.” And that's exactly what Little Blonde Cat did. She went around the Orchid River and across the broken log.

“Excuse me,” little blonde cat&nbsp;said, breaking into a grin. “How did you get your cool stripes?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “Um...i...don't know,” He said, looking embarrassed. “but if you really want to get a pattern go ask Ostrich,” And that's exactly what the little blonde cat did. She went out of the tall grass and by the Orchid river. The grass made a funny sound as little blonde cat walked through it. Shhh. Shhh.&nbsp; Little blonde cat saw the Ostrich taking a sip of water. “Excuse me, Mister Ostrich,” Little blonde cat said as politely as she could. As Ostrich looked up, some water spilled from his chin. Plink. It went as it hit the water “How did you get your long neck?&nbsp; “Um...i... don't know.” He said. “Sorry.”

Size 30 is good for the font but the page is too crowded and you need space between paragraphs and characters speaking. You can take part of the text and put it on the next page with the image. I copied some to show you.

“Thank you!” Little blonde cat said running to the mystical forest. As soon as she got there, it started to rain. She remembered what the striped secretary bird said, “Step inside the mystical black rain, and So she did. Just then, black spots started to appear everywhere!&nbsp;As soon as the rain stopped, she ran over to look at her reflection in the water. “I look amazing!” She said dancing around. Because now, nobody would mix her up with other blonde cats. Now she was one of a kind. The only. Because now she was Cheeatah&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And that's why Cheetahs have spots &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you believe it?

Is this the flamingo or the secretary bird?

“Excuse me,” Little Blonde Cat&nbsp;said, breaking into a grin. “How did you get your cool stripes?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “Um...I...don't know,” He said, looking embarrassed. “but if you really want to get a pattern go ask Ostrich.” And that's exactly what the little blonde cat did. She went out of the tall grass and by the Orchid River. The grass made a funny sound as little blonde cat walked through it. Shhh. Shhh.&nbsp;

I put some text on the image to show you how it would look, but I think the PK friend didn't realize this was supposed to be a zebra, or else the pictures are out of order. Better take a close look and see if anything needs to be adjusted.

“Excuse me, Miss Elephant.” Said little blonde cat &nbsp;“yes” she answered.&nbsp; “How did you get your cool trunk?” Said little blonde cat “Um...i...don't know” she said. But then she said “if you really want to get a pattern, go ask Zebra.” And that's exactly what Little blonde cat did. She went around the old Gumbo tree and into the tall grass. That's where she saw Zebra.

Little blonde cat was sad. She walked through the woods going back to her family. She really wanted to be special. She looked like every other blonde cat. A Lot of times, people confused her with others. It always got her frustrated when people called her a different name. If she had a pattern, no one would forget about her. Just then, Little blonde cat heard rustling in the trees. Ssssh. Ssssh. “Who's there?!” She screamed.&nbsp; “ I heard you have a problem,” said the striped secretary bird. She was the only secretary bird in the savanna who had stripe’s&nbsp; “I too once had a problem like that,” she said admiring herself. “And what I did was, I went to the mystical forest and stepped inside the mystical black rain. That should give you a perfect pattern. Just like Lion, just like Giraffe, Elephant, Zebra, and Ostrich,”
