Summary

|kaunu, the rainmaker, told the people that locusts come out when rain falls. After locusts have laid their eggs they fly away. New locusts get wings and become <i>berre</i>. The people call them <i>berre</i> because they are only able to feed at one place. When they are strong enough, they fly in the dark against the wind to strengthen themselves.
