A bird was sitting in the tree. She was eating worms in the nest. And the children were sleeping waiting for her.

"Ma!" Biyak marrtjin yolŋuny. "Ŋarra marrtji dhuwal djaṉŋarrthirra."
Then one of her children woke up and said, "Mum, where is my food? I am hungry."
"Hold on, hold on. My poor child. I will fly over to the bush and get you lots of worms, and for your other two brothers and sister."
"Okay, hurry up mum!" he said. "I am becoming hungry."

The mother flew away for him. She flew….., she passed the billabong water full of waterlilies, and she passed the thick scrub full of yams. There she noticed lots of food at that place.

Ga bumar ŋayi mirithin dharrwa ŋatha mala nhanŋuwuy ga nhanukalaŋaw djamarrkuḻiw'.
And she collected lots of food for herself and for her children.

The child who sent her off for food saw her again. Then he said like this, "Everyone, wake up everyone, mum is back from getting food, and she is carrying lots of food for us!"
Then everyone woke up and they waited for her.

Then she gave the food to them. Then they ate it and became full.
And that's the end of the story.
