Zeller looks at the narrative form of the yarn as it is employed by Joseph Furphy in Such is Life and The Buln-Buln and the Brolga. Zeller argues that Furphy had an ideal reader in mind for the narratives, someone who was both "uncivilized and well-read". This ideal reader will be entertained and enlightened by the narrative, yet able to recognise Tom Collins' mistakes and hyperbole.
