Every morning, Kenny would get up early and exercise energetically, but his mother was worried about his studies.
One day, while leaving for work, she said, "Son, you need to pay attention to your studies as well. You are always playing outside and neglecting your studies."
"Mummy, you know how fond I am of sports and games! I take part in all the sports events held at the school and win most of them. I am much more fit and energetic than the others in my class," Kenny defended himself.
"I am very proud of you, but I do not earn enough to keep up with your increasing nutritional needs," his mother admitted sadly.
Kenny was very understanding and soon found a solution. He took advantage of his strength and started threatening all his classmates until they gave him their food.
No one stood up to him because of his towering physical presence.
One day during the lunch break, Kenny saw that Roro rabbit had brought delicious sandwiches and fresh fruit in his lunch box. Kenny snatched Roro's tiffin from his hands, saying, "Let me see what your mother has put in it."
He flung open the tiffin, "There are apples, carrots, guavas and sandwiches," he announced delightedly.
"Kenny, please give me my lunchbox," Roro pleaded.
"This is my lunch now. You can fend for yourself. Don't even dare complain about this to someone you and your friends would regret it," Kenny threatened.
Roro stayed silent out of fear. Kenny gobbled down all Roro's lunch food and returned the tiffin to him afterwards. He then casually went to play in the school field with other students.
Roro was sad. When he returned home, his elder brother, Monty, asked him, "What happened, Roro? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"You know Kenny Kangaroo?" Roro replied.
"Kenny, the sports champion of the school?" Monty asked.
