"Magairamun Dreaming - Long Yam. It was made by the Grasshopper called Lidi. Then he made a trade with
Duwallajabbi the Black Headed Python. Then he said to King Brown called Illorabun "You bite this in your
mouth". Then he sang with song called Yarrindi and then all the milk off the yam went into King Brown's teeth
and that's why he has the poison in his teeth today. They made that law there at a place called Galleddji. That's
in my country, my dreaming - Long Yam Dreaming". Bill Harney, October 2006.
