The story of Gwannŭmŭrŭng (Eaglehawk) and
Būkbuk?? (morepoke).

One Gwannŭmŭrŭng and his wife went out to seek
for food. They had two little babies which they left
in the charge of B while they were away.
B after a time got tired of watching the
babies and as they were sleeping on a kangaroo
skin tied them up in it with some sinew and went
away.

Gwannumurung's wife said to her husband "I am sure
something is wrong with our babies - I must go
back." They went back to their camp and before
they reached it they saw something round tumbling about
- this was the two babies in the skin bag trying to
get out. Gwannumurung + his wife were very angry.

By and bye Gwannumurung met B
out in the bush. He said "come here there is
something for you in the hole in this hill." B
went to him and got into the hole to look. Then
Gwannumurung [??] a piece of wood and stopped
up the hole.-
