The egg was laid by one such bird that flew over the lands where the tribe lived, and interpreters of this event considered it to be a good omen. Huge and heavy, the egg laid half bogged down in the soil, and the elders ordered the tribe to build a canopy over it in order to protect the egg from the threats of changeable weather, whether it was the usual heat or heavy continuous rain when the monsoon season came.
