Story of the Koala

Strange Magic

Once upon a time there was a country called Australia. There were no rivers, ponds and streams in Australia. People had to go many kilometers with the empty bowls and return again with the bowls full of water.

It was very dry because there were not ponds, streams and rivers. There were forests with many tall trees. There were not many houses or many animals. The sky was clean of clouds. There lived a lazy and noisy boy. He lived in tribe and he did nothing.

The people were coming with the water bowls and the boy asked a person: “Can you give me some water?, and he gave it to the boy. One day when they were coming with the water bowls and the boy begged again, a person shouted “go to get your own water” and the boy said “well, I will stay here without drinking water”. He was thirsty and he went to drink water where they put the bowls. He took a very long drink from water of the tribe people. He had an idea. He would hide the water bowls because if the tribe realized that he was drinking water, they will put them in other place.

He hid the water bowls in a gum tree. The boy climbed the gum tree. The people saw that the gum tree was very tall. When they saw the boy, they shouted “come here with the water bowls”, and the boy answered: “you can come on your own”.The boy started changing after some strong magic. His ears were tiny, his nose was like a black circle, and his body had hair. He became a Koala. The Koala wailed and moaned. The people said  “he changed into a Koala”
