One
day up in the mountains just out of Nepabunna there is a cave shaped like
an Eagle.
In the cave lived an Eagle and two nephews. The two nephews went
out and never came back. Eagle went out and found them playing. Eagle said
"Why didn't you come back to your uncle?" The two nephews said
"We don't have to come back to our uncle."

They
were being cheeky. Then eagle had a party. Cockatoo came and lots of other
birds came. Crow and magpie came. Eagle found them. Eagle gathered up some
dry grass and set a fire. Cockatoo flew out of the cave but Crow and
Magpie were stuck in the middle of the cave and caught fire. They turned
black and white. And if you see a Crow and a Magpie flying behind an eagle
they're trying to say sorry to the eagle for being cheeky.
