riddles

RIDDLES
Four jolly men sat down to play, And played all night till the break of day. They played for cash and not for fun, With a separate score for every one. When it came time to square accounts, They all had made quite fair amounts. Now, not one has lost and all have gained, Tell me, now, this can you explain?

-Sarung Bangui

Sarong bangui
Sa higdaan
Nacadangog aco
Hinuni nin sarong gamgam.

Sa luba co
Katurugan
Baco cundi,

Dagos aco bangon si sacuyang mata iminuklat
Sa kadikloman nin bangui aco nangagcalag
Si acong paghiling biglang tinuhog paitaas
Simong laog na magayon maliwanag.

-Ano dawidtong nasa cogon

Ano daw idtong sa gogon
Garong bulawan paghilngon
Casu sacuyang dulucon
Ay, ay burac palan nin balagon.

Casu sacuya ng qui cu-a
Sarong tingog ang nagsayuma
Hariman aco pagcua-a
Ay, ay burac aco ni Maria.

How Kangaroo got his Tail

Oban the Knowledge Keeper
A long time ago, some animals looked different to the way they look now. Kangaroos had no tails and wombats had high, round heads.
Mirram the Kangaroo and Warreen the Wombat were good friends. They lived together in a hut that Warreen had built from tree bark.
They liked being with each other, but Mirram liked to sleep outside at night and he made fun of Warreen who always wanted to sleep inside.
