One day there lived a koala named Mango. She lived in South Australia near where there were lots of eucalyptus trees.
One day Mango’s favourite eucalyptus tree ran out of leaves. She was so sad. So she had to eat from a different tree. But she couldn’t find any other trees to eat from. So she went to explore.
Mango walked over a couple of hills and found another tree. Mango tried one and said, “These leaves are too pointy.” Then a Monkey appeared and said, “This is a pine tree.” And Mango said, “Oh.”
Next, Mango walked to the airport, it’s not too far. Mango flew to Canada in her plane. Mango was going to look for eucalyptus trees but instead she found a different type of leaf. Mango said, “It’s too soft.” Then a kookaburra said, “What are you doing, this is my maple tree.” Mango said, “Oh.”
Then Mango flew to Kangaroo Island and found some delicious looking eucalyptus leaves. She decided to live there. She called all her friends and they came and had a yummy munchy tea party.
