The blind man.

There lived an old man and his two grandsons. The old man stayed home in camp because he was blind and his two sons went hunting for emu and kangaroo. When the two brothers went north they saw the old man sitting in the camp.

When they came back they saw the old man sitting near the tree so they said nothing. The next day they saw him on the other side, the west side. Each time they left him each time they went hunting he was where they told him to wait they came back and seen him in another spot.

So one day the two brothers made a little trick on him. When they went the old man got up and made a little walk to the rockhole for water. When the two brothers came back they seen the water bowl still full. They should have seen it half way empty.

So they found out that he wasn't blind after all.

Then the two brothers said “Grandfather you're not blind, how come the water bowl’s still full, it should be empty now because we have been all day out hunting?”

But the old man said “No my grandsons I didn't drink the water.”

But the brothers said “You can't trick me, because you can see you can hunt yourself.”
