In the dreamtime there was two kangaroos. One was the plains kangaroo and one was the hills kangaroo. One day the plains kangaroo was looking for honey and saw a bee. He followed it and found some. The hills kangaroo was also looking for some honey. He went to the plains kangaroo and said, "what are you doing?"

 

The plains kangaroo replied, "I'm finding honey and there is a heap here." The hills kangaroo put his hand in and pulled his hand out which had heaps of spiders on it. He kept pulling out spiders and the plains kangaroo got all the honey. The hills kangaroo was very angry and he threw a stick into the plains kangaroo's bottom. The plains kangaroo did the same and now they both have tails.
