The lizard was out getting yams on a merrier flat. She had three of her Children with her suddenly she thought she heard someone moving behind the big myriad bushes. She listened all of a sudden out jumped Wabe from behind a bush and seized Ula telling her not to make a noise and he would not attack her, but he would take her off to his camp to be his wife. He would take his three Children too and look after them. Resistance was useless for Ulla had only her yams stick while Wabe had his spears and Bundy Wabe took the woman and her Children to his camp. When his tribe saw him bring home a woman of the Ula tribe. They asked him if her tribe had given her to him. He said, no, I have stolen her. Well, they said her tribe will soon be after her. You must protect yourself. We shall not fight for you. You had no right to steal her without telling us in a short time, the were seen coming across the plane which faced the camp of the and they came not in friendship but were painted as for war. And were armed with fighting weapons. When the saw the approach of the, their chief said, now you had better go out onto the plane and do your own fighting. We shall not help you. Wabe chose the two biggest bones that he had one he slung on him, covering the front of his body and one the back then seizing his weapons. He strode out to meet his enemies. When he was well out onto the plane, there was still some distance from the he called out. Come on, the answer was a shower of spears and boomerangs as they came whizzing through the air. Wabe, drew his arms inside the bores and ducked his head down between them so escaped as the weapons fell harmless to the ground. Glancing off his boring out again, he stretched his arms and held up again, his head shouting. Come on, try again. I'm ready. The answer was another shower of weapons which he met in the same way at last. The closed around him forcing him to retreat towards the creek. Shower after shower of weapons they slung at him and were getting at such close quarters that his only chance was to dive into the creek. He turned towards the creek, tore the front, boring off him, flung down his weapons and plunged in the waited spears poised in hand ready to aim as soon as his head appeared above the water. But they waited in vain. They never saw a game. But in the water hole where he had dived, they saw a strange creature which bore on its back, a fixed structure like a bore and which when they went to try and catch it, drew in its head and limbs. So they said this is why. And this was the beginning of Wabe or turtle in the creeks.
