How did the kangaroo get its pouch?
A long long time ago, there was a kangaroo named Joey. Joey was the first of his kind. One day Joey woke up from his very first sleep. Where was he? Well he was in a little girl's bedroom. Susie was that lucky little girl. Joey woke up in a crib. The first time he ever opened his eyes, he saw Susie. Susie happened to be in that crib also. Susie was a three year old girl living just off the coast of Australia. She collected stuffed animals. Susie was disappointed that her stuffed kangaroo was unable to wear any clothes because his body type was just so awkward! Because he was not able to have any clothes that had pockets, Susie asked her mom to sew on a pocket. Susie's mother told Susie that she was absoluely crazy for wanting a pouch/ pocket on an animal simply because it was nopt able to wear any clothing. Susie was a little tiny girl with a huge imagination. Sue was a good problem solver, so she came up with the great idea that the kangaroo would just wear a patch. When Susie turned five, her mother bought her another kangaroo for her birthday. Susie's mother sewed on a pocket for the new kangaroo. (Later to be know as Maureen) When Susie opened the wrapped box on the morning of her birthday, she was so excited to see that her mother had already put a pocket on Maureen. Susie had no idea that her mother had done that, and she thought that from now on the kangaroos just came like that. Susie just happened to be the sister of Mother Nature, so it just happened that the next year on Susie's birthday, instead of getting a stuffed animal, Susie recieved a real live pet kangaroo. Susie's pwt kangaroo ran away one day, and it just so happened that all of the kangaroos born into this world had a pouch from Susie's birthday forward.
