The Kangaroo and the Wombat (3x7)

:

A thoughtful little kangaroo helped the thirsty old wombat get some water on a hot, dry day. Some time later, when the little kangaroo was nearly exhausted from hopping in all that heat, the wombat repaid the favor of help by creating a pouch for the little kangaroo on her mother's belly. And this, they say, is how the kangaroo got its pouch.
