Once upon a time, lived Crow and Emu. They were married and lived together in a bark house. Emu was lazy.

Bala waŋganydhuny waluy ŋayi marrtjin dharyurra, bala ŋayiny ŋunhi ḏuŋḏuŋdja Wurrpaṉ' mirithinan galŋa-djulŋithin, bala ŋayi marrtjin baldhurr'yurra ŋunhi wäŋany maṉḏaŋguwuy.
One day it rained and Lazy Emu became so happy that he started to kick their house.
Page 6-7:
Ga bitjarra bili ŋayi gan wäŋany maṉḏaŋguwuy baldhurr'yurra yan, bala ŋayiny Wäktja waŋan nhanŋu bitjarra, "Way! Nhaku nhe ga dhuwal litjalaŋ wäŋany baldhurr'yun, ŋayi dhu dhuwal ḏaw'yunna."
Lazy Emu kept kicking their house and Crow said to him, "Hey! What are you kicking our house for, you'll break it!"
Page 8-9:
Ga ŋayiny gan Wäktja nhinan djinawa wäŋaŋur. Bala ŋayi gapun nhäŋal, ŋayi marrtjin gärrin wäŋalil.
Crow was inside the house. She saw water coming in from the roof.
Page 10-11:
Bala beŋuryiny ŋayi Wäktja märr-maypathinan, bala ŋayi waŋanan Wurrpaṉ'kala bitjarra gam', "Ma', nhepi yan dhu djämany dhuwali, dhiyaŋ bala bondi yan."
After that Crow was very upset and she said to Lazy Emu, "You'll have to fix it up right now."

Ŋayiny Wurrpaṉ'thuny baḏak gan baldhurr'yurr maṉḏaŋguwuy wäŋany, bäyŋun ŋayi dhuli'na-bitjurr Wäkkuny gurrupuruŋuwnydja.
Emu kept kicking their house and didn't take any notice of poor Crow.
Page 14-15:
Ga bulu ŋayi Wäk waŋan bitjarr, "Way ḏuŋḏuŋ Wurrpaṉ', nhaku nhe ga dhuwal baḏaktja baldhurr'yun dhuwal wäŋany litjalaŋ? Muka balanya nhuŋu ŋayaŋuny, bäyŋu nhe ŋuli ga buthuru-bitjun ŋarraku, ma' nhinin gi dhiyala galkurra ŋarraku."
Crow shouted, "Hey Lazy Emu, why are you still kicking our house? So that's what you're like, you don't listen. Okay, sit here and wait for me."

Bala ŋayi Wäktja buṯthurra.
Then Crow flew away.
Page 18-19:
Yaka weyin' bala ŋayi roŋiyinan Wäktja yurr goŋ-guḻayŋumirra, ŋayiny Wurrpaṉ'thuny gan baḏaknha baldhurr'yurr ŋunhi wäŋany maṉḏaŋguwuy.
Not long after, she came back carrying a fire stick, and Emu was still kicking their house.
Page 20-21:
Bala ŋayi Wäkthuny ŋurrkaŋala ŋunhi gurthany nhanukal Wurrpaṉ'kalnydja gumurrlila, bala ŋayi nhäranan Wurrpaṉ'tja, ga ŋayiny Wäktja buṯthurra winya'yurra nhanukal.
Crow threw the firestick at Emu's chest; Emu burnt and Crow flew far away.
Page 22-23:
Ga dhiyaŋuny bala ŋayi ga baḏak gorrum nhanukal bakparrnydja gumurrŋurnydja, ŋunhi ŋäthil Wäkthu ŋanya bathar baman'birr.
Today Emu still has a burn mark on his chest from where Crow burnt him long ago.
