What did the duck prays the kangaroo?? from first stanza. From the chapter Duck and the kangaroo

Dear Student.

The Duck praises the kangaroo by saying that the Kangaroo gracefully hops over the fields and water and it seems like there is no end to it. The Duck also feels sorry for himself as his life is quite boring and he had already spent half of his life in the nasty pond. The Duck wishes if he could hop like the Kangaroo.

We hope that this answer solves your query.
