2012
Once upon a time, there lived a Tasmanian Devil named Tassie. He was adventurous. One day his mother had to go and get some food, so Tassie was all alone. When his mother wasn’t around he wasn’t allowed to go out of the burrow.
That day he disobeyed his mother and left the burrow to go out and explore the town where people lived. He had never seen a person before but had heard his mother’s friend, Lassie talk about people. They sounded nice. So he went looking for them.
When he saw the people, they looked big and mean. Then he looked around him and didn’t know which way to go to get home. He was lost. He felt scared.
Then he saw something. It was another Tasmanian Devil. It was his mother! He was so happy that he ran over to his mother and gave her a big hug.
“What are you doing here Tassie?” said his mother.
“I wanted to see some people,” said Tassie.
“You should have stayed at the burrow. You are not allowed to play with your friends for a week. Never go out of the burrow when I’m not around,” said his mother.
Then they went back home and had their dinner.
