her mother breathe sostrangely,calling in pain as she lumbered towards the burrow.  \nThen she heard new noises-men running and men cal-ling.And another shot,sounding so loud.Her mother curledon to her front in a last attempt to protect Wombalong.  \nWombalong listened to the men's footsteps go.She wasused to the regular beat of her mother's heart,and to hear hermother breathe,and chew grass,and

pouch,although,nearlycovered in hair,she would soon have been following hermother at dawn and dusk:nibbling grass,sipping water,playing to practise fighting,and then snuggling up forwarmth and milk.  \nLike all wombats,she could hardly see.Her sense of smellwas very acute,and she would rely on her nose and ears totell her about the world around.Now her ears told hernothing,except danger,for she could not hear her mother.  \nShe sniffed at the air outside.The pouch was slack now.She put her head out the side and sniffed
