BLUE-TONGUE LIZARD

Blue-Tongue Lizard and his wife camped near a swamp long ago. One day Blue-Tongue Lizard went to
get some food, and while he was down at the swamp, he left his wife sitting under a shady tree. He had
not been gone very long when Taipan the Snake passed by Blue-Tongue Lizard ’s camp. Taipan saw Blue-
Tongue Lizard’s wife sitting under the tree, and he decided he would steal her away from Blue-Tongue
Lizard. He made her come with him and together they ran a long way away.

heard Black Bird’s call. He went back to the shady tree where he had left his wife and saw she was gone.
He put down his bag which was full of food and made a fire. He cooked his food and after he had finished
eating it, he went to get his spears.

He found they had all been broken by Taipan. Then he found the tracks of his wife and Taipan, and he
followed them. Blue-Tongue Lizard followed their tracks until he came to a tree in which a freshly killed
emu had been hung. It had been killed by Taipan and left there to be eaten that night. Blue-Tongue Lizard
knew that Taipan and his wife must be nearby and he soon found them near a river. When Taipan saw
Blue-Tongue Lizard he ran to get his spears but Blue-Tongue Lizard had already broken them.

‘We can fight with our teeth’, said Blue-Tongue Lizard. Taipan agreed and the two of them fought wildly,
