Snakes and Berries by Sarah Bin Hitam

"Snakes are the sacred rainbow serpents that made the rivers and water holes.
They travel upstream and downstream then rest in the water holes where it's cool and there's lots of food.
The snake berries are food for the snake when they are pinkish and reddish and are pretty but it's not good for people to eat" - Sarah Bin Hitam
