At the Zoo

A bunch of hours pass inside Matilda's pouch as unpleasant thoughts run through your head. You then doze off and fall asleep inside her pouch, knowing that there is nothing you can do right now with your weak joey form.

***

You wake up and realize you don't hear motors or cars. You poke your head out of Matilda's pouch and look around. You see that you and Matilda are standing in what appears to be a big field surrounded by a large fence. Matilda looks down and then says to you while you are looking around your pen, "So, you're awake little joey."

You answer wearily."Let me guess. We're inside the zoo and in our permanent home."

She looks at your face and with sympathy says, "Well... a kangaroo's life is not that bad."

Without saying another word, you pull your head back inside Matilda's pouch and fall asleep. So what will you do? Live out your life inside a zoo? Plot a way to get out of this mess before the summer ends?
