"Here I am!" an excited voice yelled behind her.

"Aaah!" screamed Mother Kangaroo hopping six feet in the air and landing with a thud. "Joey, you frightened me!" she said.

"Sorry Mother," said Joey.

"That's alright," she answered, rubbing his head fondly. "But you shouldn't hopoff by yourself. It can be dangerous."

"But Mother, there are so many exciting things to see. I get bored standinghere eating grass."

"Grass is good for you" said Mother Kangaroo. "Now be a good Joey, and don't go hopping off again."

She put her head down and munchedthe sweet grass. When she looked up, Joey had disappeared again. She gave a big sigh and started looking for him again.

Up ahead she saw the leaves on a bush shaking. "Ah! That's my Joey," she said. She hoppedover quickly, and bumped into a fat old wombatWombat. "Now you're here, you can help me find some good grass to eat."

"I'd like to, but I'm looking for my Joey at the moment," said Mother Kangaroo.
"That's right, nearly knock me over, a half blind poor old Wombat, and now you won't even help me find food," complained Wombat.

"Of course I'll help you," said kind Mother Kangaroo. "Grab onto my tail and we'll look for good grass."

As Mother Kangaroo hopped along with Wombat holding her tail Joey came bounding by and hopped right over old wombat.

"What was that" yelled Wombat.

"That was my Joey" said Mother Kangaroo. "Come back Joey"

"Kids! No respect" grumbled Wombat.
Joey kept going.

"I'm scared" said frightened Joey.

"Shh, it will be all right dear" said his mother softly.
