The |nu'she, the tt' e, and the wind and rain
Collection
Summary
The |nu'she (a small black bird) calls when the sun is small and has not risen (it is in the ground). When the wind blows hard the rain comes, and the wind ceases when the rain falls. While the people eat the !naxane, the tt' e (a fowl-like bird) calls. These birds also eat !naxane.
