Trickster Tale: Bilby and the Snake
 |
Once upon a time, there lived a Bilby who went by the name of Bob. He lived near Uluru, in the desert. Illustrator: WH (Grade 6) |
 |
One day he was out catching bugs to eat. Illustrator: RH (Grade 7) |
 |
All of a sudden, he heard a hissing sound. “Would you like to come to my home for tea, Mr. Snake?” asked Bob. “I would loooooove to come.” hissed Mr. Snake, with sneaky eyes. Bob had an idea. Illustrator: NC (Grade 7) |
 |
I’m going to play a game with Mr. Snake, thought Bob with a smile. “You go down this tunnel while I go and get the tea”, added Bob, pointing to the hole to his right. Illustrator: HC (Grade 5) |
 |
As Mr. Snake slithered down the tunnel it began to get smaller and smaller as the tunnel spiraled downward. Illustrator: NA (Grade 7) |
 |
“Oh No! I have been tricked”, cried Mr. Snake. Illustrator: TB (Grade 7) |
 |
Bob smiled. Silly Mr. Snake (he should have known that Bilbies are the Masters in Trickery), thought Bob. |
