AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Willie Wombat and his wife and two kids go on a camping trip into the country. Before long, their daughter Winnie, who is known to tell untruths quite regularly, meets a gipsy woman in the bush. The gipsy reads Winnie's palm, and then asks Winnie if her father is rich. When Winnie lies, and says yes, very rich, the gipsy takes Winnie back to her camp. She takes Winnie hostage, and demands a ransom from Willie Wombat—or else she will kill Winnie Wombat.
