Before now, the snake had no mouth. All he had was a poky nose. He poked and poked and poked. He sniffed, slithered and slid.
He helped a wombat back to his home. A possum glided down a tree. The snake helped the possum to find a place for a home and make it. The possum thought that was a very nice thing to do. So the possum called all the other animals to get together. They taught the snake how to dig.
One day, while working on his borrow, the snake found a stone. It wasn't just any old stone, it was a magic stone. It gave him a mouth with white fangs. That is why the snake has a mouth.

How The Snake Got its Nose
Before the snake had no bite it also had no nose and only had a cave. Once in the cave he always had to scare the bugs away. He got frustrated by this so he went to find something to poke them with. He found the hilt of a spear. It got stuck on his head and became his nose. That's why the snake has a nose.
