WHY DOES THE KOOKABURRA LAUGH ?

The Kookaburra was always sad; he never laughed and had just one friend: a koala. The Kookaburra lived alone on his big gum tree .
Every day was the same for him he was very bored. One day, his friend came to visit him, because the Kookaburra was so sad! Then his friend told him a funny story about a hunter, who was hunted by a kangaroo!! The Kookaburra found this so funny and laughed all day long! He was so happy after laughing all day that he told the funny story to his cousin. And he thought the story was funny too and told it to his friends and to his family ... and so on ...
Finally the koala’s story was known by every kookaburra in the country .
One week later, a hunter walked near the Kookaburra’s big tree and the kookaburras thought of the Koala’s story and laughed and laughed at the hunter .
Since then, kookaburras have a song like a human’s laugh.
