But I caught a true kangaroo and brought it in, thinking that this one, being lonesome, would rather have that for company than have no kin at all, or any animal it could feel a nearness to or get sympathy from in its forlorn condition here among strangers who do not know its ways or habits, or what to do to make it feel that it is among friends; but it was a mistake—it went into such fits at the sight of the kangaroo that I was convinced it had never seen one before. BUT I CAUGHT A TRUE KANGAROO AND BROUGHT IT IN THINKING THAT THIS ONE BEING LONESOME WOULD RATHER HAVE THAT FOR COMPANY THAN HAVE NO KIN AT ALL OR ANY ANIMAL I COULD FEEL A NEARNESS TO OR GET SYMPATHY FROM IN ITS FORLORN CONDITION HERE AMONG STRANGERS WHO DO NOT KNOW ITS WAYS OR HABITS OR WHAT TO DO TO MAKE IT FEEL THAT IS AMONG FRIENDS BUT IT WAS A MISTAKE IT WENT INTO SUCH FITS AT THE SIGHT OF THE KANGAROO THAT I WAS CONVINCED IT HAD NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE
o play with; for surely then it would be quieter, and we could tame it more easily. But I find none, nor any vestige of any; and strangest of all, no tracks. It has to live on the ground, it cannot help itself; therefore, how does it get about without leaving a track? I have set a dozen traps, but they do no good. I catch all small animals except that one; animals that merely go into the trap out of curiosity, I think, to see what the milk is there for. They never drink it. Three Months Later The kangaroo still continues to grow, which is very strange and perplexing. I never knew one to be so long getting its growth. It has fur on its head now; not like kangaroo fur, but exactly like our hair, except that it is much finer and softer, and instead of being black is red. I am like to lose my mind over the capricious and harassing developments of this unclassifiable zoological freak. If I could catch another one—but that is hopeless; it is a new variety, and the only sample; this is plain.
