Description
Rainbow Bird: An Aboriginal Folk Tale from Northern Australia
At the dawn of time, only one being possessed fire, which he guarded jealously. When his attention was diverted, a clever woman stole the flame and flew off to share its warmth with the entire land.
With her fiery spirit now in her tail feathers, she became the rainbow bird, bringing light and heat to all corners of the world.
