Book Cover & Preview Text
Kenny was beside himself with shock, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Then, with his throat quivering with emotion, Kenny let out the strangest half-cry and half-laugh that the Australian bush had ever heard. All the other animals and birds suddenly went quiet while this strangely loud cackle sound penetrated the still Billabong air. Kenny was realising how foolish he had been as he kept laughing at himself again and again. He laughed so much that tears streamed down his cheeks and made his feathers quite damp.
