- Once upon a time a woman was out sitting on a rock at Baim, as it was usual for her.
One day as she was out reading a book, an eagle came and flew overhead. The child was sitting beside the woman.
At long last the eagle flew down and lifted the child, and away with it. The woman was very sorry and ran after it. Hunters were out hunting that day and just happened to see the child.
