prose
Indigenous story
'We all know the Kookaburra, that’s my story. Well, Kookaburra is a morning bird, he laughs in the morning, make jokes during the day, has a rest in the afternoon, makes jokes again, and my other story, is the Frill Lizard; he’s kind and real cheeky, don’t go near him, he gets angry, chases you around, and my other story is the Jabiru; he hunts and gathers, and fishing too. And my other story is the Owl that hoots in the night, and looks for a date or a honey, thats what he looks for in the night for hunting and gathering. Sometimes people don’t like Kookaburra because he’s a spirit bird.'
