Teddy barked.
Jack and Annie turned around in the clearing. It was hard to tell where the sound was coming from.
The terrible cackle came again.
“There!” said Annie.
She pointed at a bird in a gum tree. The bird had brown feathers and a large head with a long beak.
It stared down at Jack and Annie. Then it let out another cackle.
“Weird,” said Jack.
He found the bird in his book and read: The kookaburra (say KOOK-uh-burr-uh) is the best-known bird of Australia. There is even a popular song abou
...t it. The kookaburra is also called the “laughing donkey.” This is because the strange sound it makes reminds people of a braying donkey.
“I know that song!” said Annie. She began singing: “Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree-ee.
Merry, merry king of the bush is he-ee … ”
Jack wrote in his notebook: Annie stopped singing. “Hey,” she said. “There’s another weird thing.”
“Where?” said Jack.
Annie pointed to a big bluish tan lump lying in a shallow, dusty hole.
“Is it alive?”
