Note 22 — Wild Tribes of Mindanao
Reading edition
In the very early days before there were any people on the earth, the limokon (a kind of dove)22 were very powerful and could talk like men though they looked like birds. One limokon laid two eggs, one at the mouth of the Mayo River and one farther up its course. After some time these eggs hatched, and the one at the mouth of the river became a man, while the other became a woman.
