Things changed when winter came. The wind became colder at night while Mirram slept outside. At first he didnt mind. He snuggled up to a tree to protect himself, and laughed at the thought of Warreen in his smelly hut. Wombat would not brave the wind like me he said to himself.
The wind became stronger and colder. Mirram curled himself into a tight ball, hugging his tree.
He told himself that the wind couldnt hurt him - he wasnt afraid. When it began to rain, he muttered a little wind and rain wont hurt me. Im not afraid.
One night, blasts of wind lashed the kangaroo with raindrops that felt like icy needles. Mirram was so wet and cold, he couldnt take it any longer. He struggled onto his hind legs and blown by the wind, hopped slowly towards the bark hut.
It is me! screamed Mirram, banging on the door. Now, let me in! No! yelled Wombat. There isnt enough room.
Mirrams t
eeth were chattering. He became very angry and pushed hard at the door until it opened. m inside now - and you arent big enough to throw me out!
mmph snorted Warreen. Well, sleep over there - in the corner. Youre all wet and I dont want cold rainwater dripping on me. Wombat stretched out near the fire again and went back to sleep.
Mirram lay down in the corner, but there was a hole in the wall of the hut and the wind and rain came in. He couldnt dry himself or get warm. The fire went out, but Warreen didnt notice. He snored as he slept and laughed every now and again, enjoying a nice dream. This made Mirram more angry.In the morning his body was stiff and sore. He hobbled outside and picked up a large rock. When he came back, Warreen was stretching and yawning as he woke up. Mirram dropped the rock on Warreens head, flattening his forehead and making his nose curl around
