Day and Night...

So all the animals on earth were gathered together discussing important issues, and Bear asked the Question: How do we divide Day and Night?

Some animals wanted it to be Day all the time and others wanted it to be Night all the time. So they argued about it until Ground Squirrel said "why don't we divide Day and Night like the rings on Raccoons tail? One dark band and then an equal light band."

All the animals agreed on this and adopted the new Day and Night routine, which repeated over and over equal Day and equal Night.

But Bear was jealous of Ground Squirrels Wisdom so he scratched him on his back. And to this day Ground Squirrel bears the marks of Bear's jealousy.
