  4. Example Zebra in the Bedroom One morning, I woke up in my bedroom to find a zebra staring me in the face. I hid my head under the covers for a few minutes then peeked out again. It wasn’t a dream, the zebra was still there. My first thought was what am I going to do? The first thing I noticed was the mess the zebra had made in my room. He must have walked into my walk-in closet and pulled everything out that was hanging up. He even had a dress hanging over his hind quarters. He had also managed to knock off all my miniature perfumes from the dresser. Luckily, they were not broken. The zebra had also pulled my designer bedspread off onto the floor and had left some road apples in the center. Now I knew what I had to do. I had to try to catch him. I used my bathrobe belt to try to lasso him, but it was too short and he was too quick. I then tried to trap him in the closet, but he wouldn’t go anywhere near the door. Finally, I made a trail of carrots through my bathroom and out the back door. He seemed to like carrots and nibbled his way toward the backyard. As a result of the carrots trail, I now had a zebra wandering around in my backyard. I made sure the gates were secure and the back door was shut. I put out a big bucket of water and hay. He seemed more interested in my flowers though. Finally, we figured out he had escaped from the zoo. The zookeepers came and picked him up that afternoon. They were very glad to get him back, but not as glad as I was. I hope I never see another zebra in my bedroom again.
