How The Platypus Got Its Bill

 

Along time ago, in the dream time, when the world was new, a platypus was in the river hunting fish. Suddenly he saw a shoal of codfish. The shoal codfish tried to swim away, but the platypus gulped down six or so.

The rest swam to safety to make a plan for they were very frightened. They figured that if they stuck two flat rocks near his mouth he would only eat small fish. Meanwhile the platypus was still hunting fish. The codfish sneaked up. First they tried to scare him. It didn't work so they told him to stop and just escaped. Then they decided to try their special plan.
They found two flat smooth rocks. They held them ready to stick them in.
When the platypus came up to eat them they rushed foward and stuck them on top of each other near the platypus's mouth. That is how the platypus got its bill.
The End!!!
