The wombat always slept in a little bark house and the kangaroo always slept outside. The kangaroo always made fun of the wombat saying that the wombat was to scared to sleep outside. Then one night the wombat decided to sleep outside for an change and in the middle of the night the wombat waddled back into his bark hut because he got to cold. And then the net night it was cold and wet so the kangaroo went and banged on the wombats door and said let me in its cold out here, the wombat said no you said that kangaroos are meant to sleep outside. The kangaroo banged on the door until it opened and the wombat said go and sleep in the corner so the kangaroo did and then the next morning the kangaroo got an big rock and threw it on the wombats head and said thats for not helping me in the night and said and now you sleep underground, and then the wombat planned revenge and made an big spear and threw it at the kangaroo and said thats your tail for now on.
