In the land of Australia

the koala bears stay.

They're awake at night

and sleep most of the day.

When koalas are thirsty

They climb high in trees

and get water

 from eucalyptus leaves.

Once Sam, a koala who lived there

saw fire around her everywhere.

The leaves were burning

in the bush  one day

so she began to walk 

and started to pray.

Some firemen saw the sad little bear.

They had lots of love to share.

Sam showed her hurt hand

so they could see.

She looked at fire fighter

 David Tree

 and drank  from his bottle gratefully.
