The Strip-less Zebra vs The Donkey With Stripes


When we were in Tanzania, I perpetuated a joke about spotting the elusive stripe-less zebra and/or the even more elusive stripped donkey.  In the children's cantata that I'm slowly writing (based on 1 Samuel 7-11), I'm trying to work in the joke of the stripe-less zebras.  Saul and his servant, at one point are out looking for his father's missing donkeys.  I just have to discover a punch line.  A funny one.  Wish me luck.



This is supposedly a real stripe-less donkey in Kenya but it looks like it may grow into its stripes.

This is probably a real donkey.  My cantata's working title is "The First King of Israel".  I plan to work in contemporary cultural references along with Spanish and Swahili.  Go big or go home, right?
