"While the children splashed around the pond, the mother {Witij, the rainbow serpent} covered them with rainbows. As they were swimming, there came a djaykuŋ’ (Acrochordus javanicus, file snake). She became the Wirrpaŋu, and the thunder rumbling sound made her come to the pond. When she came, the mother and her children killed the djaykuŋ’, along with my waku’s totem minhala (the long-necked tortoise) and the waterlily roots."
