Joey, the kangaroo

This might sound funny to you but once we owned a kangaroo. i hope you like reading this story and how lucky Joey is to be with us.
it was about 7.00 and we ordered a pizza from the pizza man. as we sat downstairs waiting for the pizza man we started talking about kangaroos for some reason. soon we heard a car so we ran upstairs and out the door. the pizza man hoped out of the car carring a baby kangaroo. shocked, we asked him what was he doing with the joey. he explained the whole story to us as i patted the little joey. he told us that the mother had been hit by a car at the bottom of the driveway and only the joey had survived.'what are you going to do do with him' l asked. the whole family went silent. as the pizza man looked at my parents.' OK' they said. as the pizza man gave us our pizza and drove away we all walked inside with the joey. we did not know aything about kangaroos but at least we had a farm for him to run on. the joey was very young so we had to feed it bottles of milk. my parents called our next door neighbours and they gave us an old pillowcase to hang the little joey in. it was very hard to take care of the joey because we had a little pen in the house that our lambs stayed in over night. we didnt have a name for him yet, but because we always called him Joey we decided that that was his name. soon joey settled in. he would sit in an old basket while i played with him. joey didnt really care about sitting in a pillow case all day long while i fed the other animals around the farm. joey was getting bigger and bigger every single day, and we couldnt take care of him now. We decided that Joey had to go to a new home. my mum new a lady who took care of kangaroos and wombats. so we made the right decsion to take joey there. the next day was time tro take joey there. i gave joey a kiss and said good bye. ' take care of yourself Joey' i said. and i walked inside. joey was long gone now but sometimes we visit him. the first time i went to see him, he was a fully grown kangaroo now. it was like he wanted to do boxing. joey was a great freind of mine and i will probably never meet another kangaroo like him!!!!!!!!!
