One hot day Mother Kangaroo went for a drink at one of the three close watering holes. Father Kangaroo was on the lookout so hunters couldn't hurt Baby Kangaroo. Mother Kangaroo had told Baby Kangaroo to stay where he was until she got back. He stayed and waited and waited. Finally he thought, "I'm bored." So he did a bad thing, he set out to find Mother Kangaroo. He hopped until the track split. "Left or right?" he thought. "Left!"
Again he hopped and hopped until he got to the first watering hole. There he met a turtle, a beautiful turtle with the most colourful shell. "Can you help me?" he asked, "I am lost."
"Go to the next watering hole. There my brother will also help guide you to where your mother may be. But I will guide you to him," replied the turtle.
Baby Kangaroo hopped off but the turtle's voice guided him. He hopped and hopped looking at the ground then BUMP! He looked up.
"Mother Kangaroo!" he cried.
"Come on, your father is worried about you, let's go home," she said softly.
So they hopped back home.
