THE TWO DOGS WHO WERE THIEVES English translation by Erica Napurrula Ross
One mother dog had two little puppies. The puppies used to always play at home near their mother. One day the two little dogs were left behind by their mother, and after they saw that they had been left behind, they got hungry and decided to steal.
The two dogs set off and they could smell some meat when the wind was blowing from the east. So the two dogs said, "Come on, we better go and eat it." There were two men who were sleeping and didn't know what was going on. The two dogs crept along slowly without making any sound and smelling everywhere for meat.
One dog said to his big brother, "Look, they won't hear us, they are sleeping." So they stole the meat and the two men were still sleeping, and didn't hear them. *
The two dogs ate all the meat. Then they were happy and they went back home to their mother.
And so they went to the same place the next day. They kept going to the camp every day. Then one of the men said: "Who ate my meat without asking?" The other man said: "There are some dog's tracks here, there were two dogs here and they ate it without asking for it."
The two men asked each other: "What will we do?"
One man said: "We will put some meat on the ground." While the other man said: "No, we will put some meat in two buckets and make them narrow, and when they try to eat, they will get caught and that will teach them not to steal."
And so they put some meat in two buckets with a little narrow opening in them. The two men went to sleep, and the two dogs smelled the meat, and they both ran happily to eat it.
The two men had put meat in the two buckets. So the dogs could smell the meat, and came closer, and then the younger one said to his brother: "What? Look at this! What is this? Take it easy! Yes, what is in this." The big brother said: "We don't eat in this kind of thing when we come here to this camp. We don't know what's in it."
The two dogs came closer and started eating from the bucket, and then they were caught in the narrow bucket with meat in their mouths. The two men heard the screaming and howling from the dogs in the squashed buckets.
The two men hit the dogs who were caught in the buckets, and who had meat in their mouths. They hit them with sticks and boomerangs. The dogs ran off with buckets on their heads, howling and screaming.
Then after that they went home to their mother and they stayed close together and hunted for meat together with their mother.
