me
and go as they please, and play with the little girl beside the pretty
lake. And no one in all the Gabblebabble district hurts a bush
creature, because they are all called "Dot's friends."
FINALE.
Before putting away the pen and closing the inkstand, now that Dot has
said all she wishes to be recorded of her bewildering adventures, the
writer would like to warn little people, that the best thing to do when
one is lost in the bush, is to sit still in one place, and not to try
to find one's way home at all. If Dot had done this, and had not gone
off in the Kangaroo's pouch, she would have been found almost directly.
As the more one tries to find one's way home, the more one gets lost,
and as helpful Kangaroos like Dot's are very scarce, the best way to
get found quickly, is to wait in one place until the search parties
find one. Don't forget this advice! And don't eat any strange berries
in the bush, unless a Kangaroo brings them to you.
