Abstract
This story seems to be on the borders of fable. It has an aetiological slant, though it may be hard to feel invited to perceive a lesson. God runs out of feathers, and so one bird has none. Owl and the majority of birds want to give this bird each one of their feathers. Peacock opposes this idea: he will be too vain. The birds go ahead and dress him. He finds himself beautiful and will not associate with them. He even flies away. Other birds blame the owl, who becomes an outcast. The roadrunner takes pity on the owl and visits him with food. Crow is out to kill the owl. Owl and roadrunner decide to find the Cú bird. Since then roadrunner runs by day with his eyes glued on the road crying Cu-rút. And the owl by night around the swamps and woods shouts Cú, Cú. What kind of birds are torgons (10)?
