The legend of the roo pouch:
Once upon a time there lived in the center of Australia an aboriginal boy. One day he came upon a small kangaroo in the bush, caught it by the tail, and made a purse out of its dear little symbol of masculinity. He gave it to his girl, and she kept seeds and berries in it. Next he saw a large kangaroo. He caught it with a spear and made another purse from its thick symbol of masculinity. He gave it to his father who kept stones and things of value in it.
Ever since then, male kangaroo scrotum purses have been popular amongst the aborigines. For women, the soft pliable one; for men, the strong, wrinkled one. They became as important as one's own symbol of masculinity and were recognized as bringing luck. That's why kangaroo scrotum purses are called "Lucky Bags" or "Lucky Pouches".
A great Aussie story for you - when the Europeans got to Australia, they saw a big jumping animal. Amazed at what they had seen, they asked the Aborigines what they called the creatures. One Aborigine man replied "kangaroo", which means when translated "I don't understand your question". Okay, you can smile now, but next time you don't understand someone, you can say "kangaroo" too and share the fun.
The Aborigines in Australia use the kangaroo as a lesson in life - it cannot physically move backwards. Enjoy this kangaroo skin as your own lesson in life to always look forward to the future, not backwards at what cannot be undone.
