Kerry the kangaroo loved to skate on the thin, ice rink. But oh no! She lost her kost and couldn't find it anywhere. She searched high and low, to and fro, but her kost seemed to have vanished in thin air. Kerry's friends, the koalas, came to help and together they began to concoct a clever plan. They formed a kost-detecting squad, with Binny the bandicoot as their head. They scoured every corner, every nook, but still no sign of Kerry's kost. Kerri simply couldn't bear the loss, so she hatched an extraordinary idea. She asked the curious crocodile clan if they could sniff out her precious kost. And guess what? Those crocs had an extraordinary sense of smell. With a swift swish of their snouts, the kost was finally found, right behind a pile of kooky coconuts. Kerry jumped for joy, she was like a star on a music chart! The whole jungle celebrated, with a kost-party extravaganza that evening, a joyful, kost-filled spectacle. From that day forward, Kerry guarded her kost like a queen, ensuring it would never be misplaced again. And the tongue twister of this tale? "Kerry's kost was cunningly covered, but crocodiles capably discovered it."
