Bandai (“Happy Stones”)
(14 Pages)
Guraki, the good, the wise, was disappointed when his beautiful wife, Dingah (laughter), gave birth to a Kooranya - a little girl piccaninny.
Like the Big Chief or King of every tribe, he had set his heart on a karaweli - a son.
A son who would make his heart swell with pride - one who would defeat the sons of all the other men of the tribe in hunting skill and knowledge of bush-craft, and excel in throwing the spear and boomerang.
