23 Making a boomerang for fighting. 1. One man lived in the bush near the hills, he had made a windbreak next to the white gums. One morning after sleeping by the fire, he got up and picked up his two spears, a hitting stick, shield and spear thrower. 2. With them he went out bush to find a good mulga tree, somewhere far away, with which to make a boomerang. 3. He put his spears, spear thrower,hitting stick and shield down on the ground near a hill. He chopped and broke off some bark. He put some branches under his feet because they were burning. 4. Now he is in the shade making a boomerang. One that he has made already he has put down on the ground next to him.

24 5. After he made the boomerangs he went back to his camp. As he came towards his camp he saw that his windbreak had been burnt down. Then he saw his two spears lying broken on the ground. Finally he saw two footprints. 6. He got very angry and decided to follow the tracks. From the top of a sandhill he saw two men standing in the shade. One man was drinking water from a salt lake, the other one was looking out across the water. So the angry man decided to sneak up on the two of them. 7. He saw that they were asleep. One man was sleeping sitting up with his spear thrower close to him. The other man was sleeping lying against the tree. Their spears were standing up leaning against the tree.

25 8. The angry man speared them in the thigh while they were still sleeping. One of the men stayed sitting on the ground, he couldnt pull the spear out. The other man stood up and said " Man, you've already speared me". But the only reply was "Now I'm going to throw a boomerang at you two!" 9. There he stood saying "Why did you two burn my windbreak?" He threw his spear and shield on the ground and stood with his two boomerangs ready to throw at them.
