    Wherever Gwondo went, his tribe could see him away in the distance  2 his white hair would shine in the sunlight. The tribe 3would say to their children, "See, there is Gwondo and his dogs, searching for 4 for us all. " Gwondo went out hunting every day and always came 5 with much food. And all were very happy.

     Gwondo is known to all the tribes 15 the east coast of Australia. They call him their sea dog.
