Today, the forest is quiet. But a long, long time, was different. The birds were singing anyway. The nightingale croaked, cucaba eagle, the dove and the sparrow croaked missed rulando day. In short, arming an uproar.
The bear, who was king of the forest, was very angry that those cries would not let him nap. So one day, decided to collect all the birds in a forest clearing. All but the owl came because he slept all day.
Bear said:
- Do you see this barrel? It is filled with birdsong. There is one for each of you. Chosen well, because it will be your singing for a lifetime. You can never change and you must pass on from generation to generation .
birds swooped down on the barrel and pulled out all the songs. Discussed a bit, but then agreed. And everyone was singing.
When the owl raised, the bear was found beside the empty barrel. Seeing that there was or a song for her to bear said:
- Go to the village across the forest. As people we love parties are always singing songs. Maybe learn one.
When the owl came to the village and it was midnight. There was only light in a cottage where a child moving, sleeping, the bow of an instrument, twice as big as him, which made a strange noise "!...¡ UH UH UH !...¡! .. .
- is the only song that is!, Sighed the owl. Not very pretty but at least it is not difficult.
quickly learned it and returned to the forest. Later showed it to her children and grandchildren.
For this reason, a long, long time, in all the world's forests by the owls sing: "Uh, Uh !, Uh. " And of course you have guessed that the instrument he learned was a BASS.
