Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer (探险家) of Australia, unexpectedly caught
sight of an unusual animal dunng his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouth-like head and jumped
along on its large legs. To his great surprise, the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh.

animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said Kangaroo,
which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal"s name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to
Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal "Kangaroo", but their requests were met with puzzled looks

will fight one more serious battle. We must win or we will all die." At that time, they were all so tired that

were also very exhausted and fell asleep one by one.

up the building carefully making no noise. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Frenchmen. They
