Wurrunna had many adventures as he journeyed to regions that none of his tribespeople had seen.
Late one afternoon Wurrunna called a halt and told them to strip the bark from a tree to cover the saplings he was gathering, in order to make a humpy.

Wurrunna thought it very strange and still felt rather frightened, though Mooroonu-mil-da seemed hospitable and kind, for he gave Wurrunna, whom he said looked hungry, a bark wirree filled with honey, told him where his camp was, and gave him leave to go there and stay with him.
Wurrunna took the honey and turned as if to go to the camp, but when he got out of sight he thought it wiser to turn in another direction.

Finally stripped of every illusion that he can obtain something for nothing, Wurrunna is left alone in the wilderness with no alternative but to go back, as ultimately he does, to his own people, there to play the civilized game of equitable give-and-take according to the established rules.
Wurrunna hides in a tree-top, and alien men hide in the semblance of emus; Wurrunna discovers their human identity.
