KallaX the sergeant ant lived in demma goomhar times.

The little ant (myself) sa^ '̂̂ s to the big ant, "Talk to ae for

X have no father and mother, and 1 don*t know an/thing, I*m

going to father and mother, going to find them," and the Kallal t

tells me to come closer to him and I come and come closer and

closer to him and when I come CLuite close and Kallal gets his

wanna and makes that hole in my head (hole = 'flala mat) and kills

me, the little hahy that Kallal killed. The Djarragoort (lizard)

yungar, demma goomhar) makes me and my bahy alive again. He

picks up all my flesh and hair and puts them together arni then

I say, "Hello, my boy," 1 see my baby alive iigain.

(The Djarragurt is the friend of the yungar and makes the

children talk,)
