Zebra Crossing

A few boys came to a road, and since this was their time out on the streets as part of their excursion, they were very curious as to it's function. So they asked their teacher, in unison for the purpose of the area painted in alternating white lines.

"Oh why, that's a zebra crossing! Motorists have to give way to pedestrians crossing the road. It gives the common pedestrian every priority on the road they ought to have."

The young students beamed happily, for they had learnt something new today. They were about to go back, when they heard a loud crash.

A dead zebra was lying in a pool of its own blood, right on the zebra crossing.
