I asked a Zebra: ARE YOU BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPES?

En uno de los libros en donde estudié inglés en mi juventud, había este acertijo humorístico:

Zebra Question

I asked a zebra:

Are you black with white stripes
or white with black stripes.

And the zebra asked me:
Are you good with bad habits,
or are you bad with good habits.
Are you noisy with quiet times
or are you quiet with noisy times.
Are you happy with some sad days,
or are you sad with some happy days.
Are you neat with some sloppy ways,
or are you sloppy with some neat ways.
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on went.

I’ll never ask a zebra about stripes again.
