Hoppy
I have a new friend and his name is Hoppy. Mama says that he is imaginary, but he is as real to me as Thomas the Tank Engine or Lightning McQueen!
Hoppy is a kangaroo who likes to eat bananas, pears, and blueberries. He can’t eat very much else because his hands are too small. He only likes drinking water.
He also kanga-pees and kanga-poos. (It was particularly difficult when he was constipated!) I have to help him clean and wash up after he is done. Dang his small hands and his long tail that gets in the way!
Fortunately, Hoppy likes the same things that I do. He loves Cars movie cars and he can store all of them in his pouch! What a neat trick!
Papa wanted to know where I found Hoppy. He wasn’t wandering downstairs and I did not kidnap him from the Mandai Zoo. He was already in our flat when we moved in!
I like Hoppy very much because he is always ready to play with me and to share everything he has with me. Can he come to school with me? I can put him in my backpack!
