Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy who loved to play with his yo-yo. He would spend hours in his backyard, practicing new tricks and perfecting old ones. One day, as he was yo-yoing, he spotted something strange in the bushes. Curious, he walked over to investigate and found a zebra!

The zebra was so surprised to see Timmy that it didn't move at all. Timmy was also surprised because he never saw a zebra before. He slowly approached the animal and noticed that it had a zipper on its back. Timmy slowly opened the zipper and found a bag of yummy treats inside.

The zebra seemed to be happy to see Timmy and let him take a yummy treat. Timmy was delighted and he took a yummy gummy bear from the bag. The zebra smiled and started to eat one too. Timmy and the zebra became friends and Timmy started to visit the zebra every day, bringing yummy treats for them to share.

Timmy and the zebra had so much fun playing together and eating yummy treats. Timmy even taught the zebra how to play with the yo-yo. The zebra was a quick learner and soon they were yo-yoing together every day.

From that day on, Timmy and the zebra were the best of friends. They had so many adventures together and always had yummy treats to share. Timmy was so grateful to have met the zebra, and he knew that their friendship was special.

The end.
