A Duck living in a pond is fascinated with the hopping abilities of the Kangaroo. She compares her dull life in the silly pond with the unending hopping of the Kangaroo over fields and the water. She expresses a deep desire to go to the far off world with the Kangaroo. The Duck then requests the Kangaroo to take her for a ride on his back. She promises to sit very still throughout the day without uttering anything but ‘quack quack’. She wishes to travel over the land and the sea. She particularly desires to visit ‘Dee’ and ‘Jelly Bo Lee’, imaginary places that fascinate her.
The Kangaroo is moved by this request and tells the Duck that the idea is not a bad one but it needs to be thought over as it could possibly bring him luck. He then politely raises an objection that since the Duck’s feet are wet and cold, it might make him fall sick and might give him rheumatism, a disease that causes stiffness and pain in joints.
The Duck offers to solve this problem by carrying four pairs of well-fitting woollen socks to cover her web-feet neatly. She adds that she will smoke a cigar every day and will also bring a cloak to keep the cold away. She assures that she would do all this for the true love that she has for the Kangaroo.
The Kangaroo agrees to start the journey in a pale moon-light night. He instructs the Duck to sit still on the tip of his tail so that his balance is not shaken. Thus they both start their trip and go hopping around the world thrice. This adventure makes them the happiest pair.
