The kangaroo and the porpoise

Once upon a time there was a kangaroo and his baby and a porpoise and his baby. One day the kangaroo needed to go and hunt for food so he got the porpoise to mind his baby. When he got back he asked for his baby. The porpoise thought that kangaroo's baby was cuter then his own so he didn't give the baby back.

So the kangaroo got a stick and threw it at porpoise and porpoise got his tail and whacked the Kangaroo. The porpoise now has a hole in his back from where the kangaroo threw a stick at him. Kangaroo now has broken paws from where porpoise hit him.
