Answer:

Summary

The Duck and the Kangaroo by Edward Lear is a humorous poem. At the beginning of the poem a duck that is quite intrigued at a kangaroo’s hopping and expresses its wish if it could hop like the kangaroo; and get out of the pond and see the world around.

The duck requested the kangaroo to give it a ride on its back; it assured the marsupial it would sit still.

The kangaroo replied it needed some time to think before it allowed the duck to take ride on its back. It said it had one objection only; the duck’s cold and wet feet could give rheumatism to it.

The duck reassured the kangaroo it need not worry on that account as it had bought four pairs of worsted socks; it had also bought a cloak to keep away the cold; it assured the kangaroo that it would smoke cigar also to keep warm.

The kangaroo agreed to give the duck ride on two conditions. The duck would sit still and it would sit at the end of its tail. And the kangaroo and duck went hopping three times round the world; and they were very happy.
