🐍 The Story Unfolds: Two lazy snake brothers lived with their hardworking sister-wives who hunted daily. Fed up with providing all the kuka (meat), the women ate everything themselves. Furious, the brothers transformed into giant mythical Wanampi water serpents and tricked the women with fake snake tracks. The sisters chased the elusive Wanampi for days, digging a 25km watercourse, gorge, and rocky valley at Piltati! In a dramatic climax, the elder sister pierced the big Wanampi, only for him to swallow her in revenge—while the younger serpent devoured his wife!
