Residents of distant Australia have a legend about how the boomerang appeared. Many, many years ago there lived a strong and wise hunter, Yondi. Then the firmament hung over the earth, all people were tiny. One day a hunter took a bath in a magical spring and took out a stick from there. When he came ashore, he began to grow, and the stick grew with him, and soon he rested his head against the sky. Then the hunter began to push the sky higher and higher with a stick until he threw it back to where it is now. Water from the source watered the earth, all people, animals, trees, and everything began to grow and bloom. A rainbow sparkled in the sky, it split into thousands of pieces, which turned into beautiful birds. All the people began to dance and praise the hunter. Moving the sky away, Yondi began to look for his stick, but it bent under the weight of the sky and turned into a boomerang. Since then, the boomerang has been revered because it helped people grow up!
