Pop(s) Secret


In the wilds of the way down under, a koala was sitting in a eucalyptus tree eating a bag of popcorn. Life was good... very very good indeed.


A little lizard walked past, looked up and said, Hey Koala, what are you doing way up there in that eucalyptus tree?


The koala said I'm sitting up in this tree eating a bag of popcorn. But there's enough for both of us. Come up and have some.


So the little lizard climbed up and sat next to the koala where they enjoyed the bag of popcorn down to the last kernel. The little lizard, full to the brim said That popcorn made me SO THIRSTY! I think I'm going to climb down and get a drink from the river.

When the little lizard got to the river, he started to take a big drink, but he was so full of popcorn that he leaned over too far and fell into the water.

A big crocodile, seeing the accident, swam over to the little lizard, helped him to the side and asked What's the matter with you anyway?

The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he had been sitting with the koala in the tree eating popcorn but got so full that he fell into the river while taking a drink.

The crocodile made up his mind that he had to check this out so he walked into the forest, and found the tree where the koala was sitting, eating up the last crumbs of popcorn. The crocodile looked up and said Hey, Koala!!

The koala looking down, saw the huge reptile beneath the his tree and said Crikey, Mate... just how much water did you DRINK anyway?
