A long, long time ago, all big cats looked exactly alike. But that changed when a great wizard visited the jungle one day.
The wizard told the cats, "Over the next few days, I will give you each different colors and coats. Whoever gets here first will get to pick out their own." So they all went to their dens and went right to sleep that night.

One story from each participating PBS station has been randomly selected.
With over 45,000 entries, it is not possible to share all stories online.
