Zihlobo zeHalo

You may have heard of the piece of bacon and the sausage which were being heated on a fry pan.

“It’s getting hot” said the sausage. “Wow, a talking sausage!” responded the piece of bacon.

Some years ago at the BRDU (Bilingual Resources Development Unit) at Yuendumu School, one of the children’s books they translated into Warlpiri was ‘Naughty Little Elephant’.

Wendy was taking a reading class using that book.

“Yaka! Elephant Warlpiri ka wangka-mi!” (Wow! The elephant is talking Warlpiri!) exclaimed one of her pupils! “Junga mayi Nangala?” (is that true?) the little children wanted to know.
