The Story of the Limocon Bird

There were two siblings, a girl and a boy. The boy caught the Limocon bird and told his sister to cook it for dinner. The girl said that they couldn’t eat the Limocon bird because the prophet said that they are our descendants “if we are going to eat or kill the bird something bad will happen” “and if you came out and walk and heard the Limocon bird chirp, do not continue on your walk”. The Limocon bird is giving a warning not to go because something bad might happen”
