why the kangaroo hops!


   Why the kangaroo hops! Retold By mikalya mcClennan J



Long long ago in the dream time kangaroos walked on there four legs like other animals. But Kangaroo was shy. Every day he slept under the mulga tree and at night he came out to eat the tall blades of grass.



One day when kangaroo was sleeping under a mulga tree. A bush fire started up. He leapt to four legs and started running furiously but as he got closer the fire had surrounded him. His front paws got burnt black.

He no longer could run or hop, so he started hopping.  As he got to the end of the fire he made a mighty leap or the burning hot flames.  



Once he was over the he tried to walk on all four legs again. But he could not his legs were too weak so he strong hind legs again and hopped away.





So if you look at a kangaroo’s front paws very careful you will see were they got burnt long long ago.

  4. From Shane, San Diego. I think that was a good story because it was very detailed and had good adjectives such as tall,burning, and strong.
