Why the Chipmunk Has Black Stripes

Rewrite this story in five sentences.

WHY THE CHIPMUNK HAS BLACK STRIPES

 Once upon a time the porcupine was made chief of the animals. He  called all the animals together for a great council.
 The animals seated themselves around a big fire. The porcupine said,  “We have a great question to decide. It is this: ‘Shall we have  daylight all the time or night all the time?’"
 All the animals began to talk at once. Some wanted one thing, some  another. The bear wanted it to be dark all the time. In his big, deep  voice he said, “Always night! Always night!”
 The little chipmunk, in a loud, high voice, said, “Day will come! Day  will come!”
 The council was held at night. While the animals were talking the sun  rose. The bear and the other night animals were angry. The chipmunk  saw the light coming, and started to run away. The angry bear ran  after him and struck him on the back with his paw.  Since then, the chipmunk has always had black stripes on his back, and  daylight always follows night.

   Fill the blank spaces:

 The chipmunk ---- black stripes.

 The porcupine said, “We ---- a question to decide.”

 The chipmunk said, “Day ---- come.”

 The bear ---- it to be dark.

 The council ---- held at night.

 The chipmunk ---- the light coming, and ---- to run away.

 The angry bear ---- him with his paw.
