One story is about ‘Uchek Langmeidong’ (Hornbill). Shamungou writes: “In the past, flocks of 20-30 hornbills from hills in the morning and back in the evening were commonly sighted. While flying they produced noisy sounds like ‘wo-wo-wo’ and can be heard from a considerable distance. The people of Manipur considered each flight sounds as plaintive sobs of a poor girl who had changed into bird to be known as hornbill. With such a belief, whenever a flock of hornbills passing across the sky, children playing on the roadside would ask, ‘Ha uchek Langmeidong, Eche khomdon yaoribra’…? “
