Animals of Australia for Kids
Ten Australian animals for children aged 6 to 8, hosted by Lupe, a golden retriever puppy who discovers everything alongside the child. The course travels an island so big it is a continent by itself, from the red desert in the middle outward: the kangaroo who gets less tired the faster he hops, the emu whose father sits on the eggs for two months, the wombat with the square poo, the koala who sleeps because of arithmetic rather than laziness, the quokka whose smile is not a smile, the Tasmanian devil who lives nowhere else, the platypus who hunts with his eyes shut, the echidna who escapes downwards, and the cassowary who plants the forest. Two of them are among the only five mammals in the world that lay eggs.

Collections
Square poo is not trivia: it is a message that stays put
And the wombat's two odd facts have the same shape
Collections
The emu father and the penguin father do the same thing
And the two courses quote each other on purpose
Refactoring
Three parallel renders all bundled into the same directory
And one would overwrite what another was reading
Refactoring
One take truncated twice in a row, and the fix was not a third take
It was rewriting the end of the sentence
