Description:		Recorded for Kalkaringi Community Education Centre (primary and middle school) Gurindji program organised by DAC (Diwurruwurru-jaru Aboriginal Corporation). Ronnie Wave Hill tells of a man who was out hunting one day when he spotted two women lying on the riverbank with some crocodiles. They pick up on his presence and dive away. He contrives a plan to capture one at a later date, does so and smokes off her tail. He takes her back to his community and introduces her as his wife. Elders who have seen unhappy endings to stories of domesticated water women before, warn him not to take her close to the water before she has had children, or else she will run away. He doesn't pay much heed to their words and lives together with his new wife for quite some time. Eventually, they pass by the spot where he originally found her and she takes off and dives into the water.
