How animals got their skins

    Once upon a time, the animals had picnics every month. One picnic, they decided to have a swim in the lake near the picnic site. When the animals went swimming, the naughty bat and spider-monkey switched the animals skins. Once the animals came out, they were shocked to see their skins gone. The bat and spider-monkey hid behind the bushes, giggling away. "Where is my beautiful fur?", the peacock exclaimed. "Where are my shiny scales?", the angry bear says. "Where are my colourful feathers?", the tropical fish screams. Everyone was angry, but since they couldn't find their skins, they wore the skins that they found where they placed them. Since then, they never had another picnic ever again. And that is how the animals ended up with the skins they have today.
