When the snake bit the sun!

There were once two suns, one big one and one small sun, They lived in hollow logs. When it was daytime they went out and made light then they both went to a small island called, Marungi Biddi Biddi where two men lived.

There was one good man and one bad man. The bad man poked the sun with his spear so the sun went to space. Up in space lived a snake who bit the sun and the sun's blood made a sunset. That's how the Aboriginal people got their sunset.
