A zebra gets killed by a crocodile while having a drink from a river. The zebra ends up in front of heaven's gates and St. Peter welcomes him to heaven. "Ah, one of God's blessed creatures! Welcome to heaven! I'm sure you may have some questions about life and the universe and I'll try to answer them as best I can." The zebra says "I've always wondered if I'm a black zebra with white stripes or a white zebra with black stripes." St. Peter says "Hmmm. I really don't know! Come on in and sooner or later God will find you and welcome you Himself." So the zebra enters heaven. After a few weeks of enjoying heaven a man walks up to the zebra and introduces himself as God. "Hello, zebra! Welcome to heaven! I'm God. St. Peter tells me you have a question for me." "Okay, I've always wondered if I'm a black zebra with white stripes or a white zebra with black stripes." God smiles at him, puts his hand on the zebra's head and says "You are what you are!" and walks away. Now the zebra is even
more confused. Sometime later he sees St. Peter walking around on his break and asks him what God meant with his answer. St. Peter smiles, laughs a little and says "What God meant is you're a white zebra with black stripes. If you were a black zebra with white stripes he would have said "You is what you is.""
