Read together

Once upon a time, there was a goat who loved to jump. One day, as he was jumping, he heard a snap. He looked up and saw a hawk flying down towards him. The goat said, "Oh no! I better run!" But before he could, the hawk swooped down and picked him up with its talons.

The goat was so scared that he closed his eyes tight. When he opened them again, he found himself in a strange place. He was surrounded by kangaroos who were all staring at him. The goat said, "Where am I?" One of the kangaroos replied, "You're in Kangaroo Land! Welcome!"

The goat was so surprised that he forgot all about the hawk. The kangaroos showed him around their land and he had the time of his life. They all played together, jumping and having fun.

The goat said, "I never want to leave this place! It's so much fun here!" The kangaroos smiled and said, "You can stay as long as you like!" So the goat lived happily ever after in Kangaroo Land, jumping and playing with his new friends.

The end.
