    The document describes a story in the Ooldea dialect of the Yarluyandi language involving an equidine, dog, and snake. It is told through 12 sentences that describe the equidine making a hole, the dog and snake interacting with the equidine, an ambush being set, rocks and pinching occurring, and ultimately the rock killing the dog. The summary also notes some similarities and differences between the Ooldea dialect and English, such as word order and how articles are treated.
