Kakadu Calling
“He was living with his grandparents in the hilly country, while his father and mother attended ceremonies back in their own country, on the coast.
Burrki was lonely and he missed his family very much. He had to wait for four full moons to pass before his parents returned to collect him. Burrki knew that was a long time because he had already seen two full moons pass. To have to wait for two more made him feel very sad.
‘I don’t think I’ll see my mum and dad again,’ he sniffed with tears in his ...eyes. ‘I might just go and look for them. I’m sure they’ll be happy to see me.’ For many days, Burrki sat and watched the sun rise and set. His father had told him which way to walk, and how many days it would take, to reach his home by the ocean. For his parents it was only two days walk, but for young Burrki it would be at least three.
‘I know I can do it. I’ve done it before with my family, and once I’ve gone over the hills, it will be easy.’ Burrki didn’t tell his grandparents about his plan because he didn’t want them to worry.MoreLess
