A young zebra is troubled with a dilemma. He has no idea whether he's a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes. So he goes up to his mum.
"Mum", he says, "am I a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes?" The mother has no idea, and says that probably his dad will know the answer. So he goes to his dad, asking him "dad, am I a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes?" Dad has no clue, and suggests that his son goes to see the Owl, who is a very wise animal and will surely know the answer. And the young zebra trots off to the tree where Owl lives. "Mister Owl, can I ask you a question?" Upon which Owl answers, "but of course, my son, what is troubling you?" "Well, you see, I'd really wish to know whether I'm a white zebra with black stripes, or a black zebra with white stripes." Owl chuckles and say, "oh, but that's very easy. You're a white zebra with black stripes." The young zebra nods happily for a moment, content to finally have an answer, but then furrows his brow and asks, "how can you tell?" "Well", Owl says, "that's quite easy. Had you been a black zebra with white stripes, you would've come up to me and said, 'yo Owl man, lemme axe you sum question thang...'" (I hope nobody feels offended... *sheepish smile*)
