A koala is a little animal with a round head, round ears and a round body. It looks like a bear, but it is not a bear. Soft grey fur (软毛) covers its fat body. Its eyes look like buttons. It has small feet and big ears. And its nose looks like your new black shoes.

Where do koalas live? In Australia. The people in Australia take care of them. When a koala is born, it has no fur. And it is no bigger than your little toe (脚趾)!

The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body. The baby stays in this warm pocket for six months. When the cub (幼兽) leaves the pocket, it has lots of fur. And it is as big as your shoe. It climbs to its mother’s back. It rides there while she teaches it to find food.

For most of the day the koala sleeps. At night it looks for food. It may go miles to find food and sometimes it is difficult to find it.

One Sunday evening, Mr and Mrs Hunt were walking by the lake after a dinner party. They saw a bird under a tree. It couldn’t fly. They went over to have a look at it. It was a nice parrot. Its wings were broken and it was saying some numbers. They were surprised. They knew birds could say a few words, but they didn’t know birds could say some numbers. They took the parrot home. It said numbers again. They listened carefully. The bird was saying the same numbers! Mrs Hunt said, “Is this bird saying a telephone number?” Then she wrote the number down and dialed the number on the telephone. It was really a right telephone number. A woman was answering the telephone. She said that the bird was hers. She taught the bird to say the number. The woman came to Mrs Hunt’s house to take her bird back. She thanked Mr and Mrs Hunt very much.
