This chicken hawk man used to give the meat to two girls and their mother. Every time he goes hunting he brings a Kangaroo and calls to the girls to get the meat. When the Chicken Hawk comes with the meat, he calls the girls to get the meat and the girls tell their mother they do not want to get the meat from him as they do not like him. One day another man comes called Eagle man and the Warlawurru man came and the girls went with him. They went a long way with him and that Kiirr-Kiirr man came back and saw the mother sitting by herself. The mother said the girls had run away with the Warlawurru. The chicken hawk man gave the mother meat and chased the girls. He chased them a long way until he saw them walking along. He came near and the two girls saw him and ran behind the Eagle man. The Kiirr-Kiirr man got out his spear and the Eagle man and he threw their spears at each other but the Kiirr-Kiirr man got out his spear and the Eagle man and he threw their spears at each other but the kiirr-kiirr man killed the Eagle man. The two girls then asked the Hawkman to take them with him, but he said no and he killed the girls.
