When Captain Cook of the United Kingdom discovered Australia, his sailors brought aboard ship a strange animal.
Captain Cook asked the sailors, “What is the monster name?” The sailor replied, “I don’t know.” So Captain Cook demanded the sailor out of the board and went ashore to ask the natives about it. As sooner or later the sailor came back and said, “It’s a Kangaroo, Sir.”
For many years passed before it was known that when the native was asked to name the animal, and he said, “Kangaroo?” -He meant “What did you say?”
