2. Long, long ago in dreamtime, the aborigines didn't have much
to play with. But one day a little boy named Negali stated that
he had heard of a new and interesting object that when you
throw it,it will return back to you. He would find materials to
make one. But no-one thought it existed or that it was possible
to make.
3. The next day Negali went on an
exciting journey to find materials to
make the object to play with. He
searched everywhere but could not
find anything to use. He did not
know what to do.
4. After searching and searching Negali decided to give up.
On his upsetting way back he reached a weird looking
tree. He then climbed up the tree and grabbed some of
those weird looking things hanging on the tree. He tried
to throw one but it did not return. So he went and tried to
stab sticks into another of the weird shape and then
throw it but it did not return.
5. Negali kept on trying to invent the object but still not
succeeding. Then eventually after a few cuts and bruises
he went and smashed the weird looking thing on the floor
and it curved into something that looked a lot like the
shape of a crescent moon. Negali then threw it with all
his might and surprisingly it returned back.
6. Negali was so happy, he then went and took everyone of
those weird shapes off the tree and smashed them on to
the ground until they curved into the same shape as the
one he threw. He returned excitedly back to his village.
His little brother, Curlew was so excited that he had new
toys. However, as he was so young and didn't know any
different, he stuffed one into his tiny mouth.
7. Curlew tried and tried to tell Negali that they were
actually really tasty and they were not toys but food.
Negali tasted one and thought they were delicious.
He told everyone in his village that the shapes were
food and they were very yummy. All the villagers
started eating those weird shaped food and
eventually decided to call the weird looking shape a
BANANA, because the ground that he threw the
weird looking shaped (banana) down onto was
owned by a man named Johnny Banana.
