One day when a Brolga became angry she stole an emu's egg and threw it away. It burst and set fire to some sticks, and this became what we now know as the Sun. A kookaburra named Gougourgahgah, saved the light by laughing when the morning star starts to fade. This school reader contains Iconic illustrations by Walter Stackpool.
