Bangu the Flying Fox Dreamtime Story
A DREAMTIME STORY OF THE YUIN PEOPLE OF WALLAGA LAKE.
Long ago, when the world was new, there were many birds and…
There were many animals on the earth.
The birds and animals spent most of their time fighting one another. Bangu the Flying Fox couldn’t make up her mind if she was a bird or an animal.
Bangu the Flying Fox liked to be on the winning side all the time. When she went out to play with the animals and they got into a fight with the birds, Bangu would change to the birds’ side if they were winning.
If she was with the birds and the animals were winning, she’d change to the animal’s side.
One day the birds and animals became really sick of this and had a big meeting. They were fed up with Bangu pretending to be one of them and changing sides. They called her over and told her off… And, just to get the message across, they gave her a good hiding to go along with.
They said. “Go away. You are not a bird, you are not animal, and we don’t want to play with you again.”
So Bangu crept away, and that’s why you only see her come out at night and fly around by herself.
IF YOU FIND FRIENDS, STICK TO THEM. HELP THEM WHEN THINGS ARE GOOD AND BAD.
Because if you keep changing sides and letting your mob down, you’ll end up as lonely as…
