my opinion of a story

Hi Mrion:that bright red flower is called Sturt's desert pea.

G'day Marion:Following is my opinion of a story of Flowers Of Blood!In those three abrigins storys i like the Flowers Of Blood most.Beacause this story is very interesting and exciting.It told us about Purlimil and Borola's love story.they love each other.they wanted to get married .But they were checked by Tirlta.so they escape to bush.however Tirlta found them and killed them.so a king in the sky saw all the story ,he killed Tirlta.then there were some blood flowers growed up in the place where they were killed.this is a trigedy .kind person dead and bad man was kiled too. but it affords for thought for ever.i like it.

The Anteater and the Turtle

Long, long ago,in the Dreamtime ,the anteater had no spines and the turtle had no shell.Turtle and Anteater lived together in the bush. They were good friends and were very happy together.

One day Aneater asked Turtle to mind her baby while she went hunting.So Anteater went into the bush while Turtle looked after Baby Anteater. Anteater was gone a long time ,and Turtle was getting very hungry. He waited longer but still Anteater did not return.Then Turtle became so hungry he had to eat something. So he ate Baby Anteater.

Not long after,Anteater returned from the bush.she looked for her baby but couldn't see it anywhere.Where 's my baby?She asked Turtle.But Turtle didn't answer.suddenly Anteater realised that Turtle had aeten her baby.Angry and heartbroken ,she ran over to a big pile of stones.She picked up stome after stone and threw them at Turtle. Some of the stones hit and stuck in his back.Then Turtle ran to get his apears and threw them at Anteater .Some of the apears hit and stuck in her back.

Today the spines are still in the anteater's back but they have become her apines.And the stones which the Anteater threw an the Turtle have stayed stuck in his back and become his shell.
