how did the duck and kangaroo experience immense happiness?
Answers
They — the Duck and the Kangaroo — would go to the see and the Jelly Bo Lee as well as over the land and sea. Repeatedly, the Duck requested the Kangaroo to give her a ride. The Kangaroo replied that he needed some time for reflection. Perhaps her idea was good because it could bring luck for their friendship.
By the end of the poem, both animals are deliriously happy with the arrangement and in one another’s company, each benefitting from the companionship. As the Kangaroo says, “To balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady!”: the two animals, despite their differences, can now balance each other on their shared journey specifically because they have taken care to consider the other’s needs. That both the Duck and the Kangaroo ultimately find great joy in their partnership reflects the value of friendship—and, it follows, of being willing to compromise.
