One day on the banks of a billabong, a clever dingo caught a big fat wombat. “Wombat stew, wombat stew, yummy scrummy for my lunchie”. But wait here comes a platypus, “hey there dingo” calls out the platypus. What are you doing? I am going to get some water for I am going cook that big fat wombat into a stew. The platypus felt bad for the wombat so he taught of a trick. “Dingo you can’t make wombat stew without a full bucket of muck”, said the platypus. “Muck?” asked dingo “okay then in it goes”, just then an emu came by and said “I know what you can put in this water for your wombat stew, you should put bugs into it! And dingo said, “bugs? okay then in it goes”. When the water was good enough for the wombat stew, dingo tasted the water and then….. ahhh ewwww. And the animals laughed and laughed and said “we tricked you dingo”. And then dingo never did anything like that ever again. The End.
