Sam’s story was in the news a couple of weeks ago.
We have all heard the recent forest fire in southern Australia. The loss from the merciless fire is humongous. It killed at least 181 people, burned down 1,800 homes, and turned 1,500 square miles of wooded area into charred waste land. I bet in the same time it also engulfed countless family pets and wild creatures.
But amid a devastated backdrop, a koala with scorched paws was a very lucky bear. When it was spotted by the firemen on patrol, somehow it knew to sit on its bum and waited to be helped. After the firefighter, David Tree, offered water to the injured koala, it grabbed its rescuer’s hand while gulping up three bottles of water in one sitting. Hats off to Mr. Tree and his partner, Mark Pardew, Sam, happens to be a girl, is now recuperating nicely with another koala, Bob, at Mountain Ash Wildlife Shelter, east of Melbourne.
Smile! - Ayee
