PIKILYI-KIRLI
That place we w ent to east of Pikilyi is called Yapuraji w here the w hite people live now. From that place the dream ing snake w ent east, faraw ay east to a place called M uluju. He w ent to visit another snake.
After that he w ent back to that cave in the cliff. A little boy there told him that his w ife was playing up w ith another m an snake and he got really angry and he painted him self ready for fight w ith yellow ochre w hich lies in that place.
The other snake was w ith all the ladies near the springs. They were getting louse from the giant snake. The other giant snake from Pikilyi w ent off and put fig tree leaves on his back. And then he rushed off/that giant snake that lives in the spring).He cam e runshing from the east.
The other snake w as sitting w ith the w om en and they w ere busy getting his louse unaware that the other snake w as com ing for him. He only had wom en w ith him sitting around in a circle getting louse. Then the w om en w arned him that the other snake was com ing for him. "L ook out, that one 's going to get you and he's com ing for a fight. W ake up quickly. H e's com ing to hit you. H e's com ing to attack you. H e's rushing this w ay to attack you."
H e ran straight up and started hitting the other snake. Then the two of them started really fighting each other. They fought and fought. The w om en all tried to stop them.
There w ere som e other w om en w ho d id n't know w hat was going on. They w ere busy grinding seeds called w arrilyi. They got up from grinding the seeds and ran to stop the giant snakes who kept on fighting all around the place. They kept on fighting as they w ent south past Yulpurdu-katurnu. They kept on hitting each other, hitting each other. They w ent from Yapuwariji to Pikilyi to the west hitting each other, hitting each other.
As they w ere going along fighting m ore w om en kept joining in trying to stop them but the giant snakes kept fighting and the w om en w ere going up the snake's guts. They w ent up the inside both snakes. As more and m ore w om en w ere joining in and they were all going up the snakes guts.
The two giants snakes grabbed hold of each other as they were fighting in the air. The two giants fought and fought and they finally w ent dow n to Pikilyi. Today the two giant snakes are resting at Pikilyi.
