How the Emu lost its wings
Storyboard Tekst
- Goolbree the Emu was tall, strong and had beautiful feathers. But here was one thing wrong with Goolbree, he was mean and always played tricks on others. Goolbree was jealous of the beautiful Brolgas, which camped not too far away.
- It was the same with the Kookaburras. He didn’t like to see them, or hear their laughter, from the big gum trees. Old Goolbree always called them names. He kept trying to kick sand at the Kookaburras or many other little birds.
- Stop calling us names Goolbree!
- Yeah! And stop kicking sand on the other birds!
- I'll kick sand on who I want to!
- Googlee Eyes! Googlee Eyes!
- Well go look again!
- Daily, he would send his wives and all the little dennewans out looking for quandongs and other wild berries; even though he knew, the closest quandong tree was many miles away. The dennewans all knew the quandongs were his favorite of the wild fruits and berries. They walked and walked for miles, but found no quandongs.
- Goolbree! We could not find any quandongs!
- Quandong Tree
- One day, when they had walked for miles across the plains, seeking to gather food, a big rainstorm came up. It rained and rained. The rain pelted down and, as there was no shelter, the old wives and little dennewans were soaked to the skin. There was not a dry feather on their bodies. When they returned to camp, they were horrified to find there eggs lying out of their nests, wet and uncovered. When they questioned why Goolbree left the nests uncovered he just laughed.
- Hahaha Your Funny!
- Why did you leave our eggs out in the rain?
- In order to dry their feathers, the wives had to make a fire. They gathered all the dry sticks they could find and made a really big fire. When old Goolbree came over to get warm, they chased him away. When he couldn’t stay away, they angrily kicked the fire and Coles all over him. Unfortunately, all his fine feathers were singed and his wings were burnt down to stumps. As Goolbree was sneaking off, the Brolgas came by. When they saw his stumpy wings, they danced with joy. The kookaburras also laughed and laughed.
- Haha!
- Haha!
-
- Some of the fire must have scorched the eggs are little, because since that day, all emus have stumpy wings. After that day, Goolbree changed and he now helps his wife to look after the nest. Today, if anyone’s hunting or searching for emu eggs, old Goolbree the male emu will lead them away from the nest. Many people don’t know that where he just ran from, the emu mother is sitting on a nest of eggs.
