Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to tell you another story. 

The life of Rusty the Red Kangaroo King

I started out as a peanut and slowly grew into a grown however in the beginning, there I was, a blind and hairless creature. I relied on my mum for food and protection. Just before I turned eight months old, I was attacked by a wedge-tail eagle but lucky for me, it then went for a rabbit near by. At eight months I left for the wilderness. I soon came across another teenager, a male, and his mob. I was challenged to a practice fight - I did this so he and I would be ready to do a real fight for life to the death if we ever needed to. After that the drought came.... lots of kangaroos were lost after that. I met the male kangaroo that beat me in that fight two years ago. This time I was successful in our fight and I now have a mob of my own. Not long after, the drought came back. And then a lot of dingoes come but they did not catch me or my mob so I kept leading my mob........ as Rusty the Red Kangaroo King

The end.

Until next time
