Once long ago in Australia, the kangaroo didn't have a pouch. The kangaroos were fierce and vicious animals that destroyed everything in their way. They didn't even spare the humans. They made the animals carry joeys on their backs. Dump Thump was the leader of the kangaroos.

One day the animals held a meeting. Tiger spoke first.

"The kangaroos are a menace. While they are in 'their world of nod,' we do their work!"

Owl spoke next. "Let us go to our creator, God"!

They went to God but little did they know that God awaited them. They assembled and God held council.

"What do you suggest Snake?" asked God.

"We must bite them to oblivion! We should gather our brothers and sisters to charge them with our claws and teeth."

"No, I got an idea from my son's game: Call of Duty MW3. The narrator says that the best way to destroy your enemies is to make peace with them," said Owl.

"Good idea," said God. "How will we do so with them throwing stones at us? Simple. Listen to me. I have a plan."

So they left for Dump Thump's castle. They had taken scissors and twigs with them. When they reached the castle they dropped the twigs like bombs into every nook and cranny. Then they set the twigs on fire. Exactly according to owl's prediction, the kangaroos were stunned. While they screamed and shouted the birds cut open their stomachs in the shape of pouches. They came back with water in their beaks. They spat it in the fire and soon the sparks disappeared.

The animals dumped the joeys in the pouches and said in a chorus, "You will carry your joeys in your pouches or else…"

"Stop! Stop! We will do whatever you say," said Dump Thump.

The animals talked to Dump Thump and reasoned with him, telling him to end his path of brutality. The animals befriended the kangaroos and lived in peace for a long time to come. Peace came to the Australian plains because of Owl's son, his Xbox and his games.
