Story about a Perentie,
Translated into English by Jean Napanangka Brown
A long time ago there lived a Perentie and a Goanna.
They used to live
together.
They used to go hunting together.
Each one used to bring his own
food.
The Perentie who was lying near the rocks said to the Goanna,
"I want my back to be painted so J can be the same as you.”
So the Goanna started to paint Perentie's back.
Goanna said to the Perentie,
"Hey! Paint my back and then I will paint your1s."
So Goanna started to paint Perentie*s back and he painted Perentie all over
his back. Then Goanna said to him.
"There I have finished painting you. Now it's your turn to paint me."
Perentie painted Goanna but whereas Perentie had got a good painting on his
br*ck, Perentie only half painted Goanna's back.
Then Goanna said to the
Perentie,
"I am going to cook some of our meat."
So Goanna went to light a fire supposedly to cook the meat but it was
really to cook Perentie. Goanna lied to Perentie. He tricked Perentie who came
up thinking he was going to get some cooked meat.
But Goanna tricked him by
digging a hole in the ashes and by putting a stick in the hot sand so that it
looked like meat cooking.
When Perentie was about to get some meat out of
the fire, Goanna pushed Perentie into the fire. And so it's from that fire that
Perentie has got his black nose to this day.
