当Ginnis先生袭击Jamberoora Creek的采矿营地时，他的行为受到了高度赞赏;因为，虽然他是个文静的人，举止温和温顺，不像普通的大摇大摆的人，他的脸颊丰碑，但他却成了溪边营地里的人崇拜的对象，因为他向袋鼠莱利展示了一点!Jamberoora的两家酒吧都有一些经得起考验的酒(更不用说那些狡猾的酒了!)奥戈尔曼的旅舍名叫“挖掘者休息所”，据他说，是西部最好的旅舍。但这是一个亟待解决的问题，它是否真的是最好的，或者是“矿工”——由袋鼠比·莱利(Kangaroobie Riley)持有。爸爸M'Ginnis拜访了莱利。他说他"觉得有点奇怪"然后带着苍白而疲惫的微笑，他说他"想试试威士忌"把它往后推，说:“恐怕我最好还是喝点白兰地。”递回去说:“喂，把白兰地拿去;不管怎么说，我还是喝一品脱啤酒吧!” And he drank the health of Kangaroobie Riley! "Where's the money?" asked the publican; "you'll have to pay, begad!" "Gave the brandy for the beer!" said Dad the wily, "And I handed you the whisky when I took the brandy, lad!" "But you paid not for the whisky!" answered Riley. "No," said Dad, "And you don't expect a man to pay for what he never had!" - 'Twas the logic flattened Kangaroobie Riley! "See," said Kangaroobie Riley, "you have had me, that is clear! But I never mind a joke," he added, dryly. "Just you work it on O'Gorman, and I'll shout another beer." "I'd be happy to oblige yer," said McGinnis with a leer, "But the fact about the matter is - O'Gorman sent me here! - So, good morning, Mr Kangaroobie Riley!"
