Myths and Legends

At school I have been writing my own myth with a partner. It is called 'Why Emus have their Long Necks'. This is some of the story: It's about a gang of robbers who are Koala, Snake, Echidna and the leader is Emu. Kangaroo is a detective.
In the desert there is a drought. Nobody can find food. The gang of robbers are looking and looking for food. Eventually they are lucky enough to find a picnic that has been left and a pond with water in it. They pack up the food and put all the water from the pond into buckets, then run away into the bush with it! The robbers don't know that that is detective Kangaroo's lunch that he was saving for the worst part of the drought which had already begun..
