The wildlife is what makes Australia so different from other countries. No trip should be without a visit to see Australian animals. Yesterday, we saw and heard the famous kookaburra, a bird that sounds like it is laughing, from a steam railway. Then we went to an animal park where we could touch and feed kangaroos, cockatoos (white birds) and emus (big birds that cannot fly). We saw koalas and wombats there, too. Finally, we went to Phillips Island to see penguins come out of the ocean and bring food to their babies. Wallabies (small kangaroos) and geese were eating grass in nearby fields.

Someone I know told me about a friend who was suffering from depression . He kept away from people for several years. None of his friends could do anything to help him. Then his psychologist suggested that he keep a cat. He followed the psychologist’s advice and went to a pet shop. As soon as he went into the shop, he fell in love with one cat. He decided to buy the cat, and since then, he has been getting better. Now he doesn’t suffer from depression and has started to work part-time. Cat therapy seems to have worked. （by a reader)
