The kangaroo without a pouch

Little KengaRo sat under a thick baobab tree and feel himself very sad. His mother, KangaRoo, went on a journey for the young leaves of acacia. Those beautiful trees grew close to the Croco Lake. KengaRo really wanted to travel with his mother - there near the lake was so interesting! But he couldn’t - his mother didn’t have a pouch for her little joey.

There was standing a boy on the shore - it’s he threw a cobblestone in the crocodile.
‘Thank you!’ frightened Roo said to the boy.
‘You're so silly!’ replied the boy. ‘Don’t you know that crocodiles are dangerous?’
‘I know it. But he promised to teach me how to weave the baskets’ sighed Roo. ‘See, I’m a Kangaroo Without A Pouch so I can’t travel with my joey together. I need a pouch for my baby, or a
