It is okay. I liked it when the desert god said to the dog "chase the kangaroo". The dog was running after the kangaroo. I didn't like it when I thought the kanagroo was going to fall into the river. Kangaroo was my favourite character.

When he said now you are different to the desert God that totally confused me

Because it made the kangaroo different to the other animals and he can hop really fast over the wild river

The kangaroo bragged he was the best. That was silly.
