Urban Legends from Australia

Fill in the gaps. Be careful some of the gaps need Participle Constructions!

This is a true story a friend of a friend experienced in his Australia holiday:

Two American tourists were driving (drive) on deserted roads through the bush when they accidentally hit a large kangaroo.

Getting (get) out of the car, they realized that the kangaroo had died in the accident.

Being (be) so drunk, though, they propped up the kangaroo, its lifeless head bouncing (bounce) from one side to the other, dressed it in one of their new jackets, and took pictures of themselves with their arms around it.

Ater a few minutes of picture-taking, the guys were shocked when it seemed that the kangaroo came back to life! It turns out that the poor kangaroo wasn't dead, but it had passed out, and when it came back to consciousness started to box with the drunken guys! It actually broke one guy's jaw!! It then hopped(hop) away into the landscape.

The men couldn't drive their rented car, as the keys were in the green jacket, which was still on the kangaroo, so they had to walk (must, walk) back to the tournament. A little while later, a pack of kangaroos was seen in the distance, one of them wearing(wear) the green jacket.
