  13. Zebra's real name is actually Adam. He finds a man in the street. This man has an empty sleeve tucked in his jacket pocket. He seems very mysterious and asks Adam if his school would like to take art class in summer. Adam shows Mr. Wilson where the school office is and tells him to ask for Mrs. English.
