The Tale Of The Sign Tiger

Once in Jamaa there were no signs at all. Everyone wondered where things were and got very, very confused. No one knew where things were, and Jamaa was so big they had to memorize everything.
After the Art Room in Coral Canyons was finally built, a tiger named Speedyproud decided he'd make signs. But he didn't know where wood grew. Were there wood plants? Surely he could use trees....

But tigers climbed trees. His family and friends would never forgive him! Speedyproud wanted to make signs to make others less confused, but it was so difficult!

Speedyproud was walking around Jamaa and came across the Mira statue. To his amazement, the statue actually MOVED! He flinched, but Mira looked as calm as ever.

"Speedyproud, I understand you want to make signs. But making these signs would make you very popular. To hide your idenity, wear this mask," Mira ordered, giving him a black mask with an orange pattern, with yellow and orange feathers.

Speedyproud put on the mask. While talking to Mira, she also made him able to transform into a seal so that if oceans came along, he could post signs there, too.

"I can't make signs," Speedyproud complained. "I don't wanna harm the trees!"

"I can help with that," Mira nodded. "All you have to do is say, 'sign', and a sign shall appear. You can draw on it, and it will always point the way it should."

Speedyproud got to work. After a while, others discovered the signs. But
Speedyproud's idenity remained unknown forever.
