Chapter 1: Wombat Digs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Max the Wombat<\/strong> lived in a cosy burrow. Every morning, Max liked to dig. He used his strong claws to push the dirt away. Scratch, scratch, scrape!<\/em> The sun was warm on Max\u2019s back. He was looking for something yummy to eat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 2: A New Smell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Max stopped digging. He sniffed the air. “What is that lovely smell?” he thought. It was a sweet, earthy smell. It was stronger than the smell of gum leaves or damp soil. Max followed his nose out of his burrow and across the grassy patch.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Chapter 3: Farmer Giles’ Garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n

The smell led Max to a small wooden fence. Behind the fence, a man named Farmer Giles had a garden. The garden was full of big, green leaves. Max saw a little patch of orange poking out of the ground. He knew what it was!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 4: The Crunchy Snack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Max was a very polite wombat. He did not climb the fence. Instead, he found a loose carrot lying right by the gate! Maybe a rabbit had dropped it. Max picked it up. CRUNCH!<\/em> It was the sweetest, juiciest carrot he had ever eaten.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Chapter 5: Happy Max<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Max sat down next to his burrow and finished the carrot. His tummy was full and happy. “Carrots are the best!” he mumbled. He decided to go for a nap and dream of orange snacks. He loved living in the Australian bush.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
