HOW THE KANGAROO GOT ITS POUCH By Quina Gowan A long time ago there was an animal called the kangaroo. It was a large animal that hopped around like a giant rabbit. This kangaroo's name was Kanga. Kanga was a fat kangaroo. Then one day Kanga had a baby and she carried him in her mouth, the way cats carry kittens. But one day Kanga dropped her baby and his tail poked a hole in Kanga's stomach and he fell in the hole and that's how the Kangaroo got its pouch. TRULY AMAZING ANIMALS AT MY HOUSE By Eddie Sebben I have 35 chickens and the chickens lay eggs that we eat. We feed them grain but only once a apples month. I have a cat and her name is Casper. It's a medium-sized cat. I feed her cat food and sometimes she hunts for mice and eats them. I have some calves and I only have a name for one. Its name is Pollyanna. I feed them hay and a little bit of grain. I have a turtle and I like it because it is a bay and it is three centimeters long and his name is Time and he will grow a ruler long. I feed him turtle food that I buy from the pet store. Correction There was an error in the infor- mation regarding donations to Wal- ton Public School, in the Oct. 2 issue of The Citizen.
