Koala at School!

 When I received a call from my lovely colleague telling me that there was a koala outside the music room, I dashed straight up to the room.  When I got there, I thought it was dead as he was so still!  After a few minutes, it moved his eyes and just looked at me as though he was saying 'What are you looking at you pohm?!' It was inside the school grounds and as it was such a hot day, we decided that he may be thirsty so I filled up a tray with water and put it right next to it.  It was completely uninterested in anything I was doing.  It was at this point that I discovered that koalas are constantly 'stoned'.  Apparently there is something in the eucalyptus leaves that spaces them out.  It might explain why they are so slow, however, after checking out the suggestion on the wonderful Google, opinion is divided but I like the idea so we'll go with that.  After school, I went to check on the koala to discover that it'd moved up into the tree.  It actually had one leg either side of the trunk and was just taking in its surroundings, looking at us nonchalantly!

A few days after this, I was on my way home from yet another BBQ and I spotted one on the footpath, just around the corner from where I live!  At first I thought it was a dog as there was a couple with it, but when I took a second look, I realised it was actually a koala. It was on all fours and obviously having a wander!  Awesome!
