A long time ago, there lived a mother with a daughter. The daughter was called Minawee. She was different to all the other girls in the camp. This is because she wanted to cause trouble. She made people angry, and also made them fight. Minawee was very pleased with herself that she had made everyone in her camp fight. One day, two angry elders came to Minawwe's hut. They said to Minawwe's mother, that if she kept this behaviour up she would be punished.

The years went past quickly and Minawee turned into a young woman and she was old enough to become a bride. Minawee got in line with the other young ladies but all the other young ladies got chosen except Minawee. This made Minawee very angry and Minawee caused more trouble in the camp. The elders in the camp got very angry and took her to the beach and rolled her in the sand. After, Minawee lost her temper, so she asked the evil spirits to turn her into a nasty animal and at that Minawee got turned into a nasty crocodile.

 

 One day one of the elders went for a swim in the lake. Meanwhile Minawee was watching. She decided to punish him because he punished her. Minawee swam closer to the elder and grabbed him by her teeth and rolled and rolled until Minawee was convinced that he had his punishment. From that day onward crocodiles roll with there prey in their mouth until it is dead.
