English Translation: A Little Boy's Dream 
This little boy had a dream about an old lady. 
She made him grow smaller, the same size as an ant. 
The little boy didn't like being small. 
He went running around looking for somebody to change him back to his own size. 
He asked a butterfly, "Butterfly, Can you make magic? Make some for me. I want to go back to my own size." 
"Don't be silly! I can't make magic." 
He asked a kookaburra, "Kookaburra, Can you make magic? Make some for me. I want to go back to my own size." 
"Don't be silly! I can't make magic." 
He asked a brolga, "Brolga, Can you make magic? Make some for me. I want to go back to my own size." 
"Don't be silly! I can't make magic." 
He asked an emu, "Emu, Can you make magic? Make some for me. I want to go back to my own size." 
"Don't be silly! I can't make magic." 
He asked a snake, "Snake, Can you make magic? Make some for me. I want to go back to my own size." 
"You wait here little boy." 
The snake went inside his hole and brought back a turtle's egg. 
"Quickly, eat this egg little boy." 
The snake really wanted to eat the little boy. 
Then the little boy woke up and looked around his bed, but there was nothing there. When he realised that he had only been dreaming, he started to laugh.
