This is the story of how skunks got their first stripes.

A long time ago, Skunk had a beautiful white coat that shimmered in the sunlight.

Yet, because of her coat’s beauty and the fact that it was the same colour as Ermine, the People often mistook her for Ermine when they hunted, and many of her friends had been trapped.

Skunk was tired of being afraid. She decided to protect herself by changing the colour of her coat.

She met her friend Chipmunk who had dark stripes down his back. She pleaded, “I don’t know what to do. I am afraid I might get trapped and killed for my fur.”

Chipmunk thought for a moment and then suggested, “Why don’t you try changing your coat? I think I have an idea, follow me.”

“I don’t know what to do. I am afraid I might get trapped and killed for my fur.”
