Chapter 1 About Kelly
Once upon a time there lived a small koala and her name was Kelly. Her favorite thing to do
was sleep and climb and her favorite food is eucalyptus leaves. She was always sad because
she did not have a mum or dad and no one else to play with. So, she thought and said to
herself "maybe I could make a house out of branches and leaves to decorate her house."

Chapter 2 How to make Kelly happy.
Kelly found some new friends and they started to play with her. But then she got sad.
How should we make Kelly happy?
So, they were thinking how to make her happy.
Then they knew how to make her happy. Their Idea was to ask what her dream is to do. SO,
it was weird that we found her crying because she thought we were lost and thought it was
her fault.
Then they went up to Kelly and said, "What is your dream thing to do?" Then Kelly replied,
"mmmmmmm, play with friends" she said, and Kelly's friends said "ok let us play." the other
koalas exclaimed. But then something bad happened...


Chapter 3 Welcoming people
Kelly's friends mum and dad called out and said it is time for dinner. So, Kelly
went to her house and made cards for her new friends when they were having dinner.
After dinner Kelly's friends came out to play again
But Kelly was not there she was in her house then her friends saw her house and saw Kelly
and Kelly said come in this is my house. And she hides the cards, so they did not see they
went outside but then something weird, happened Kelly's friends mum and dad said, "hey
Kelly do you want to come and join us in our house." Kelly said yes please, I would love to.
So, she went inside, and it was a beautiful house she said. "WOW "THANKS for letting me
stay in your lovely house and it is also big. And you know what I LOVE! big houses. So, then
