Thunderbirds. (No. 1.)

Reading edition

Told by Peter York.

The old people once went to the Blue Mountains near Collingwood a long time ago. At the end (escarpment) near the Bay a Thunderbird had its nest. It had two young birds. They were shaped like geese, but were naked and were about as high as a man’s chest and were of brownish red or russet color. By and by they began to grow pin-feathers and get big. Then they went away. The old people went over several times to see them, and they first saw them during a thunderstorm.
