Bats and Mankind (2323 words)
Amongst the rambling stories that make up the tales of the Australian Aboriginal Dream-time there is one of a confrontation between Tjinimin the Bat God and the Great Rainbow-Snake.
Tjinimin wanted to have sex with the Green Parrot-Girls that were the consorts of Great Rainbow-Snake and of course Great Rainbow-Snake objected to this.
