Said the Dingo pup to his den one day.
"It's time I went and found my way.
Out in the world I intend to go.
And you'll be surprised by the things I know.
There's a wild ducks nest in a sheltered spot.
So i'll go right down and I'll eat the lot".
So when he went for his destine prey.
He found that the ducks had flown away.
But an egg was left that would quench his thirst.
So he bit the egg and it straight away burst.
It burst with a bang so he turned and fled.
Because he thought that the egg had shot him dead.
"Oh mother",he said"Let us move right out.
Or we'll get blown up by the bombs about.
It's lucky I am that I'm not blown up.
It's a very hard life",said the Dingo pup.
