The Kalligooroo
This is an Australian Aboriginal story that tells how death came into the world. Long ago, there was a time called Dreamtime. There was a long piece of painted wood, called a kalligooroo, set up as a bridge between the earth and the sky. In Dreamtime, people never died. They could go across this bridge whenever they wanted. In both places there was plenty to eat, so no one ever ran out of food.
Every day, quite a few people crossed the kalligooroo. It was common to run across an old friend. These friends might shake hands with each other and talk for a few minutes before going on their way. If someone wanted to go across, it was not necessary to say good-bye and see him or her off. Because no one ever died, they knew that they would meet again across the kalligooroo.
One day, a woman found gold by the river. She wanted to show off her gold to her friends in the sky. It was getting dark, but she wanted to leave right away. She was so excited, she could not put off the trip. She put on her traveling skirt and then put together a bag of things she would need. She took a little food, some water, and a few sticks that she could use to make a fire for cooking.
As the woman walked across the kalligooroo, night came. The woman was afraid that people would run after her and try to take the gold. She could not put up with the idea of someone else having her gold. Then the woman remembered the sticks. A fire would protect her from thieves! The woman removed the sticks from her bag. She put them down in the middle of the kalligooroo and started a small fire. This proved to be a big mistake. The fire burned a large part of the kalligooroo! Now it was impossible for anyone to go across.
The woman ran away. However, someone saw her. Soon everyone knew that the woman had burned the kalligooroo, and no one could ever go to live in the sky again. Those people who were already in the sky could never come back to live on the earth again.
When the woman looked up at the part of the kalligooroo still in the sky at night, those people stuck in the sky were very angry. They were reminded of the woman and what resulted from her foolish behavior. They sent death to kill the woman. So all women were told never to look up at the sky at night or they might see the kalligooroo and die.

Pedro tricks his boss
In Chile, South America there are many stories about Pedro. Pedro never thought it was worthwhile to work hard. He would rather trick people to get money without working. Maybe these stories were told for fun, but also they teach people to watch out for men like Pedro.
One day, Pedro got a job working for a farmer. This farmer had a very pretty wife and three pretty daughters. "To tell the truth," Pedro thought, "I would like to just sit all day talking to them."
Pedro was working with another man washing the barn. However, they turned off the hose and took turns sleeping. If one man saw their boss coming, he would wake up the other, turn on the hose, and start washing.
The farmer thought about firing Pedro because he had been very slow in washing the barn. Pedro wanted to work for the farmer very much. (Actually, he was just waiting for the chance to kiss one of the farmer's daughters!) Pedro and the farmer talked over all of the jobs that Pedro could do. The farmer finally decided to send Pedro to town to sell his pigs. He gave Pedro a piece of paper with the price that he wanted for the pigs.
Pedro thought of a way to trick his boss. He threw away the paper and took the pigs into a swamp near the farm. Pedro cut off all of the tails of the pigs and stuck the tails in the mud. Then he led the pigs to town and sold them. Because Pedro had worn out his shoes, he went to a shop and tried on some new ones. He wrote down the address of the shop and told the owner that he would write back soon to order the shoes. Then he went back to the swamp.
As night came, the farmer got worried. He took a lamp and went down the road to look for Pedro. When he saw Pedro standing in the swamp, he yelled, "What's the matter with you? I told you to go to town!"
Pedro said, "I tried to take a short cut through the swamp. But all of the pigs went into the mud. Look." Pedro pointed to pigtails.
The farmer shouted, "Quick, go tell all three of my daughters to come help us dig these pigs out!"
When Pedro ran back to the farm, he found the daughters waiting there. The daughters asked Pedro if anything was wrong. He knew this was his chance!
Pedro said, "No. Your father told me to come here and give each of you a kiss." The three daughters laughed and said that they did not believe him. Pedro yelled back to the farmer still standing in the swamp, "Did you say all three?"
The farmer yelled back, "Yes, all three!" So Pedro kissed all three daughters, said, "Thanks for letting me work here!" and ran away.
