long ago in Australia, an old wombat walked toward a kangaroo and her baby. As the wombat came closer, the kangaroo heard him say, " Useless and worthless,worthless and useless. I'm blind. Nobody wants me around." The kangaroo was very kind and said, "I'll be your friend. I'll show you where the best grass grows." She let the wombat hold her tail, and she took him to a green area of grass. The wombat was very happy.
Suddenly the kangaroo remembered her baby! She had told him to stay close, but he had walked off. She ran back to look for him and found him asleep under a tree. She didn’t want to wake him.
