Bohra the kangeroo..
There was a time in blackfellows land when the night came down like a black cloud and veiled
the world in darkness ,letting neither moon nor stars be seen.
But as "Bohra" the Kangaroo , liked to feed at night he objected to this darkness and being of
great wisdom he decided to put an end to it. So he rolled back the darkness as if it had been a rug
and let in the moon and stars.
He felt very pleased with himself when he was able to see to feed during the night and go about
as he pleased on his four legs, for in those days ; " Bohra" the Kangeroo went on four legs ,
like a dog.
One night , while feeding he heard noises away in the bush, he followed the noise to a camp,
where he saw people singing and dancing on two feet . The men let him dance with them because he showed them a new way to dance by dragging his tail on the ground leaving marks on it
.So forever shall his tribe move , jumping on their hind legs and his fore feet shall be as hands and his tail shall balance him...
