Hi there,
I enjoyed this piece and it is very well written and engaging. Those kangaroos are tough little buggers, aren't they?
All the best

This is a nice little story. It reels you in, as you follow Rob's adventure, not knowing that he is a kangaroo, since he was walking, not hopping until the end of the story. I'm glad he lived to tell us about his adventure.

I wanted to give you a heads up review. This contest carries a word count limit. Maximum allowable words are 200. When I ran a copy of this post through Microsoft Word, it counted 346 words. You may want to do a little editing to meet contest requirements. Good luck in the contest.

It seems I haven't been very lucky with contests lately. I hadn't seen the word limit as it doesn't appear at the top as usual.
Thanks for letting me know.

Sometimes, new members sponsoring contest put the word limits in the section that should contain only instructions to the voting booth. However, I think in this case I did see it in the top instructions. It's an easy fix, and there seems to be lots of time. good luck.

No, it's not at the top. That's why I didn't see it. Anyway, I don't mind being disqualified. I like the story as it is. So much editing would totally destroy it.

This is a story twist I've never thought about. It's very clever. While attempting to keep my readers interested in my stories, you did excellent with this one.

Comment from Bob Stanton
I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this but then hit the cleverly constructed twist and smiled. Rereading it and smiled again. But why Rob? Surely Joey should have been his name, or is that too obvious?
Good luck in the competition.

Yeah... maybe too obvious. Rob was the first name that came to mind.
Thanks for reading.

This is a cute story.
It has a child's voice that plays well, and a simple metaphor.
Well done.
thanks for sharing

I love this story. . .all life is precious and counts. We may not know their story first hand but they are on this earth for a reason. This story is a good lesson for our young people today. I think it would make a great picture book or magazine story.
Love the pic. I don't think this is a horned toad but it does resemble them. I used to catch them and play with them when I was a child.

Google it said it was a thorny devil, whatever that is.
Thanks for your review.

Excellently done, looking through the eyes of a kangaroo. You've given that special look at life viewed through another creature's perception. A great plot, a very good character, and a great, surprise ending, serve together in making a good entry. Well done, blessings, Roy

Dear Anonymous Author;
thank you for sharing this story about a country you never visited. It seems you have met the requirements of the contest with your story of a joey out on his own.
Good luck in the contest,
