So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.

But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about. 

They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”

“Hard to say,” said a kangaroo, “if they continue forgetting to fasten the cage door.”
