B(2025·山东青岛第十九中学月考)
A boy lost in the wilderness was saved by a kangaroo. That's the story floating around after Simon Kruger, a 7-year-old boy, was rescued from Australia's Deep Creek Conservation Park.
According to Australia's 7 News, the saga(传奇故事) began when Simon wandered off after the family ate a picnic lunch. Apparently the lost boy drifted away to pick flowers for his mum. Instead, he got hopelessly lost—and without adequate warm clothing to stay out overnight in the forest.
A police search, including helicopters, followed. But Simon wasn't found for 24 hours—even though he was ultimately discovered only about half a kilometre from the family's campsite. His father Etienne Kruger thinks his son was disoriented when the rain and wind swept in after he got lost.
However it happened, Simon wasn't found for almost a full 24 hours. The overnight weather was cold and wet, dropping to a low of around 43 degrees Fahrenheit.
So how did the lost boy survive the cold, wet night? The family said that Simon's flowers for his mum attracted a kangaroo. His dad explained, “A kangaroo came closer to him and ate the flowers from him, and the kangaroo fell asleep next to him. I think God sent a kangaroo to keep him warm.”
