A Frend for Babby Kaingaroo

(A Friend for Baby Kangaroo)

You're in for a treat! I have found my writing books from primary school. I will be posting some of my stories in their original spellings... and their translated ones. This first story is from year 1, when I was 5 years old, it's a retell of a picture book I read. It definitely needs translating! (Take note of the very unnecessary capital letters).
