How Would the Jaguar Answer?

Daily journal topic: “What would it be like if animals could talk?”

Albert wrote that he would like to talk with a jaguar. Why? So he could ask it, “Why are you black?”

For teacher’s comments I was tempted to write “Oh my God, Albert. You can’t just ask jaguars why they’re black”, but I figured the Mean Girls reference would be lost on him so I didn’t bother.
