Kabeera's "How tigers got their stripes?"

Long long ago in India their were many tigers.They were just plain tigers with golden brown fur.Four friends named Jahan,Pooja,Rohan,and Nandani wanted to be very different from the rest of the tigers.For they wanted beautiful stripes and for each tiger to have a different pattern of stripes each.So one day Nandani,Pooja,Rohan,and Jahan went to the Goddess of Beauty.Who lived in the heavens and only came to earth for special reasons such as a tiger not feeling beautiful.So the Goddess of Beauty came to earth.Rohan told the Goddess of Beauty that they wanted stripes.The Goddess of Beauty granted them their stripes but to give them their stripes the goddess needed an exotic flower with stripes.Rohan,Jahan,Pooja,and Nandani knew where these flowers grew and set out to find it.Once they found the striped flower they hurried to the Goddess of Beauty.The Goddess of Beauty crushed the flower in her hand and told Nandani,Jahan,Pooja,and Rohan to eat the crushed flower.All of a sudden a bright light shone and when the bright light ceased Rohan,Nandani,Pooja,and Jahan had stripes.The goddess had also given every tiger in the world stripes.From that day on all tigers were born with stripes.
