William

William was a very clever young wallaby. He could do his six times table, knew his ABC and even knew the names of Australia’s longest rivers. He knew what food was good to eat and what food was bad for him, and he knew never to argue with snakes. But William couldn’t jump.

His mother Dorothy and his father Eric told him, “William, you must learn to jump.””
