THE BUNYIP

Burnum, which meant great warrior, disappeared when he went out hunting in the deep dark forest. A really thoughtful man called Cobar realised that Burnum had disappeared so Cobar went out and went to look for him when suddenly the Bunyip appeared out of nowhere and took Cobar back to his cave. The rest of the tribe were worried because they thought Burnum was
fishing but when they went to check he was gone.

That afternoon Burnum, who is a great warrior was born to be adventurous. Usually Burnum’s name is completely unknown. As soon as Burnum saw someone approach he was so excited when he thought someone had approached but it was only the Bunyip and then Cobar came running to save Burnum but Burnum was guarded by the Bunyip and mythical trees. The Bunyip was 4 times the size of hunting dogs, it had 4 giant legs, tusks of a wild boar and a really stumpy tail.

Later that evening Cobar, turned and sprinted towards surrounding dark forest. Luckily for Burnum Cobar was super quick so Cobar would be able to get past the Bunyip and all of the mythical trees. ‘’you took your time, I thought you would never get here!’’ Burnum exclaimed terrified, Burnum explained about what had happened the big, ugly Bunyip had chased him from a deep, dark lake all the way back to the Bunyip’s cave. The Bunyip was snorting burbling really loudly it could be heard miles away and the rest of the tribe heard it and were really worried.

Quickly, Burnum removed the flint from around his neck. Cobar lit the flint and the smoke began to fill up the sky from the small, orange fire.

The very next morning Cobar rescued Burnum and they tried to get back to the camp but they got lost so they kept walking but they didn’t realise they were walking in circles. They were scared because the mean, ugly Bunyip was right in front of them and they ran all of the way back to the
secluded lake where they started. ‘’Go around the Bunyip we won’t get eaten!’’

Burnum gulped, because Burnum and Cobar were lost they lit a fire and waited for the tribe to appear. After a a couple of hours Cobar said ‘’they are never going to come!’’ But then loads of people came and it was the tribe. They were so excited to be going home. When they got home they lit the camp fire and fell asleep.

Later that day the tribe woke up and went fishing they all kept eating their favourite fish, which was silver bucket fish.
