Two scientists were in the most inhospitable part of the Australian outback studying what little life existed there and they made a fantastic discovery. They found a fully grown marsupial only 1/2 inch tall. They took it back to their camp on the upper edge of a huge canyon for further study. Obviously, they did not have enough information the classify the animal, so they temporarily called it the Rarey (it was, afterall a rare find).
They had no idea what the animal ate, so they laid out about a dozen different food items from the rations that they had brought with them. The little marsupial ate them all! It the morning, they found that the animal was not 1 inch tall. They once again laid out a variaty of foodstuffs and once again, it ate everything. The next morning, they found that it had doubled it's size and was now 2 inches tall. This went on, until the animal was 64 inches tall and had broken into their food locker and eaten and drank almost all their supplies. They had no why of knowing just how large this thing would grow, and they did not want to leave a potential Godzilla loose in Australia, so they decided to end it's life before it grew any more. They lured it to the edge of the canyon, using the remaining food supplies and just as they were pushing him over the edge, they discovered the animal had a voice! It looked over the edge of the of the cliff and then looked back at them with sad eyes and said, "It's a long long way to tip-a-rarey."
