Description: Benjamin Teekon draws the sand drawing of the 'Dove breaks the wild cane'. The dove (Chalcophaps indica) comes and tries to carry a bundle of wild cane, but it is too heavy so he breaks off a third and tries again. It is still too heavy so he breaks off another third and flies off with the bundle. This is an interactive sand drawing where as the story progresses the drawing is altered to show how the bundle of wild cane has changed File Description: This bundle contains video, audio and glossed and time-aligned transcription with English and Bislama translations in an EAF file.Miscanthus floridulus
