There once was a purple and pink zebra who didn't like his flashy colors. Instead of living on the savannah he lived on a big blue houseboat. He enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at the top of the houseboat. He was in the hot tub one afternoon when he received an unexpected visitor. His friends Fran the hippo, Terry the elephant and Mary the giraffe came to relax with him in the hot tub. Mary the Giraffe was his girl friend, he loved her. Mary and Frank often went for moonlight strolls on the warf near where his boat was docked and they would have picnics near the grassy hill on the far end of the warf. One day when they were taking a walk they ran into Merdock the orange elephant.
Mary started to flirt outrageously with Merdock. Frank became very angry as he knew Merdock was in love with Mary too. Frank was so angry he went over to Merdock and started a fight.
Frank said, " What do you bloody think you are doing??"
Merdock replied not with words but a mighty push.
Mary started to cry and shout "please boys do not fight!".
Merdock said, " You stay out of this, this is between Frank and I."
"but Frank" replied Mary "I hate bloodshed"
Merdock looked at Mary and said "We'll stop, only if we all can be just friends."
