aro-o-o-o-i

Updated: June 2, 2025

Then Wari fell down, down; but he did not strike the ground, for he was caught in the branches of the tree called lanipo. It was a tall tree, and Wari could not get down. He began to utter cries; and all night he kept crying, "Aro-o-o-o-i!" Then he turned into a kulago-bird. At night, when you hear the call of the kulago-bird, you know that it is the voice of Wari.
