Why the Kangaroos Hops! 

Long long ago during the dreamtime there was a kangaroo who slept like a baby under the mulga tree , day and night and they could run on all four legs .Then one afternoon there was a bush fire in the plains .The kangaroo woke up to try to get out of there. The kangaroo was too late but the kangaroo tried and tried but instead he burnt his paws and they were to sore to walk on. So he jumped over the fire. He tried to walk on all four legs but it was to hard he found it so hard that he was sweating like a Olympic runner so that is why the kangaroo hops today.
