How did the Kangaroo respond to her proposal? ( The Duck and the kangaroo)
Answers
The Kangaroo responded rather favourably to the Duck's request. He was ready to allow her ride on his back. He expressed one objection. Her feet were 'unpleasantly wet and cold'
Explanation:
The Duck made a request to the Kangaroo. She wanted to ride on his back and hop around the world beyond her pond. The Kangaroo didn’t respond without thinking. The request needed ‘some little reflection’. He told the Duck frankly that her feet were unpleasantly wet and cold. They might cause some trouble to him. The wetness and cold might give him ‘roo-matiz’ or pain in his joints. She must think over it and if possible find out a way to overcome it. Otherwise, he had no objection of allowing her a ride on his back. It might bring good luck to him. So, the understanding on this issue was very clear. The Duck assured the Kangaroo that she had already made all arrangements to keep out wetness and cold.
