Acrylic on canvas 900 x 580mm $1400
Two young men who were friends go out hunting. Both men killed Kangaroo and brought them home. They put
the kangaroo in the fire to burn the fur, then they cut the tails off. One of the men asked his friend what are you
thinking. The friend said I am thinking like you, we need to fight with the cut off tail. They fought for some time.
One day they split up hunting and both of them killed kangaroo. One friend killed a middle sized kangaroo and the
other friend killed a big boomer. Same way, they burnt the fur and cut off the tail. Same way they decided to fight
with the tails. But one of the men had a big big tail and the other had only a medium sized tail. The man with the
big tail hit his friend across the nose and killed him.
