 The sun shone on a red rose garden. Elton saw a family of kangaroos. The mother was very happy. Her children were bringing her roses to tell her how much they lovde her. "I love you too" she said to them. Elton stepped forward timidly. "Is this my home?" he asked. "No," she answered. This is Mother's Day. Can we help you?" "Well," said Elton. "I want to go home." "Try that direction," the mother said, and she gave him a big hug. |
