A story about how all the land, animal and plant spirits decided to help Bunjil the eagle, the creator. These spirits decided Bunjil was tired and needed a rest. The spirits realised that all the creatures of Badger needed someone to care for them everyday. Therefore, they change some of the spirits to human form to help Bunjil.
