    Nothing to wear

    Milana wants to go to the movies, but she has nothing to wear (as usual). She says to her great-grand auntie Lucy, "I have nothing to wear!"

    "Wear my tiger-fur dress”, says her great-grand auntie.

    So Milana wears her auntie’s fur dress to the movies, but it looks funny. All of the people at the movies make fun of Milana.

    The next day Milana wants to go to the swimming pool, but, as usual, she has nothing to wear. She says to her one year old little brother, Danya "I have nothing to wear!"

    "Wear my diaper!", says her little brother.

    So Milana wears his diaper to the swimming pool, but it looks funny. All of the people at the swimming pool make fun of her.

    Next week, Milana’s mother has to go to PTM (parent-teacher meeting) , but she has nothing to wear. She says to Milana, "I have nothing to wear!"

    "Wear my black and white socks, the t-shirt with feathers and sequins, and some jeans" says Milana.

    So her mother wears all of those and goes to school.

    The school principal sees Milana’s mom and says “Wow! You look great!”, and she presents a printer to Milana’s mother, for being the most stylish parent ever!

    TOONKOO AND NGAARDI
    When Darama, the Great Spirit, came down to the earth, he made all the animals and the birds. He gave them all their names. He also made Toonkoo and Ngaardi.
    One day, Toonkoo said to Ngaardi that he’d go out hunting. He went out hunting kangaroos and emus, while Ngaardi stayed home and got some bush tucker . She was waiting and waiting, but Toonkoo never came home.
    She started worrying. Then she started crying and as the tears ran down her face, she made the rivers and creeks come down that mountain.
    She waited there all day for him to come back with the food, but he never came back.
    As Toonkoo was out there hunting, he chucked a spear and got a kangaroo. Then he walked a bit further and he looked up and saw Darama, the Great Spirit, up the sky, watching him. He chucked a spear up to the sky, up to hit Darama, but Darama caught it, bent it and chucked it back. As it came back it turned into a boomerang. That’s how we got our boomerang.
    He was out hunting and he was still wild with Darama, so Darama took him away and put him in the moon. As the moon was coming up, Ngaardi was still crying. As she saw the moon coming up over the horizon, over the sea, she looked up into the full moon and there she saw her man, Toonkoo.
    She went to the mountain and she laid down. She said to herself that if ever he should come back, I’ll leave my heart on the mountain for him to find. Today, her heart is the red flower called the Waratah.
