Little Brown Bushrat

Everyone in the Australian bush was good at something. The kangaroo could jump the highest, the echidna had the best nose for miles around and even the koala had a special talent for sleeping.

Everyone was good at something except the little brown bushrat. He couldn't jump or run very fast, he certainly couldn't swim and he definitely knew that he wasn't very beautiful. He was just a scrawny little bushrat.

But when a bush fire begins to spread, only one animal knows what to do. Little brown bushrat saves the day - he may not be the fastest or the most beautiful, but he's certainly the bravest!
