“I turned around, stepped over the Zebra and threw myself overboard.”

“Ravi was right. Truly I was to be the next goat. I had a wet, trembling, half-drowned, heaving and coughing three-year-old adult Bengal tiger in my lifeboat. Richard Parker rose unsteadily to his feet on the tarpaulin, eyes blazing as they met mine, ears laid tight to his head, all weapons drawn. His head was the size and colour of the lifebuoy, with teeth. I turned around, stepped over the zebra and threw myself overboard.”

“I finally got around to reading the dictionary. Turns out the Zebra did it.”

“I thought they were helping me. I was so full of trust in them that I felt grateful as they carried me in the air. Only when they threw me overboard did I begin to have doubts.”

“I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.”

“Trust me when I tell you the zebra is real! Somewhere, the zebra is dancing.”
