AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The selfish wombat does not let the kangaroo share his bark shelter during a storm. When the wombat is sleeping, the kangaroo strikes him with a large stone, leaving him and his descendants with a flat forehead. The wombat gets his revenge by throwing a spear at the kangaroo, which lodges permanently at the bottom of the kangaroo's spine.
