When Moon died grasshopper cried for him and they took his spirit up and give it to water goanna. Water goanna took it down and put it in the water and feed him with the weed. When he rolled over, he went up into the sky and became new moon. This is the story about why people don’t have eternal life. When you die your spirit goes up into the sky and comes back as a totem. The totem can be animal, plant or fruit or anything – different birds, cheeky yam or long yam. Then later on they come back as human. If you have a scar or birthmark that comes back all along. The bottom oval shape is the burial – call it mundul. In the middle left is where the sand goanna was sitting and on the right possum was sitting. In the middle is the shadow that came down from the sky and they fed him with the slimy weed. Then after that they let him go and he went back up and he became the moon (top left) and they call him Kandawark. The two – Possum and sand goanna talk together. And possum said to sand goanna “We’ll bury you and if you die and come back alive then you’ll be like the moon”. And they buried the sand goanna and went away and later they came back and dug up the grave and up he come alive. And they said “Oh that’s good. Everyone come back alive after they die”. And then the sand goanna said “OK we buy you – the possum”. And they went away. And sand goanna had funny feeling “Something must be wrong behind”. And everyone said maybe he got to go for good”. And later they all come back and they can hear lot of noise – all the Blowfly people all crying. And they walk close up and they said “Possum dead” and sand goanna said “We’ll dig him up”. Sure enough, old possum was dead. And he said “Well that’s buggered the whole world. Everyone going to die for good”. Then that Mundin lady said “I can fix that. I’ll take that shadow like moon up top and bring the shadow back and give it to water goanna. Then they fed him with the slimy weed and they sent him out in the land to look for mum. “He’ll still come back” they said. And he found his mum when the kids were born we can recognise the scar or birthright. We can that immaruk.
