Once upon a time, in a sunny Australian forest, lived a koala named Kiki and a kangaroo named Roo.
Kiki loved to climb trees and eat eucalyptus leaves. Roo enjoyed hopping around and exploring.
One day, Kiki felt sad. She wished she could hop like Roo.
Roo saw Kiki's sad face and asked, 'What's wrong, Kiki?'
Kiki replied, 'I want to hop like you, Roo, but I can't.'
Roo smiled and said, 'You are special just the way you are, Kiki.'
Roo added, 'How about I teach you to hop a little?'
Kiki's eyes lit up with happiness. 'Yes, please!' she exclaimed.
Roo showed Kiki how to jump small hops. Kiki tried and laughed.
After a few hops, Kiki said, 'I like hopping, but I love climbing best!'
Roo chuckled, 'I’m glad you tried. Now let’s find some tasty leaves!'
From that day on, Kiki and Roo stayed best friends, cherishing each other’s differences.
