A head popped up out of Karrie’s tummy. “It was me,” said the second head.

“Karrie, you have two heads.”

Everyone began to laugh. “No I don’t,” said Karrie. “This is my little girl Rhea. She was just riding in my pouch.”

“You have a pouch?”

“Why yes. All mother kangaroos have pouches.”

“So, that means you are not an emu,” said Mu-Mu.

“Certainly not. Only you and your father are emus. That is why Rhea was laughing.”

Soon the group of animal began to leave and Mu-Mu and his father settle down to sleep the rest of the night away. Mu-Mu had many questions but he had time to ask and learn.

As the days passed, Mu-Mu grew less afraid of everything around him. His father began to explain what it was like to live in their land. One of the first things he taught Mu-Mu was what was good to eat and what was not. Elvin showed Mu-Mu how to pick out seeds and berries that tasted good and which insects were safe to eat.
