The document summarizes a Bunun folk tale about how the Black Bulbul bird saved the people of Bunun. When floods covered the world, people survived on top of Mount Yushan but had no fire. They sent birds to retrieve fire from other mountains, but the first bird disappeared and the second drowned. Finally, the Black Bulbul succeeded in bringing back a burning stone despite it being too hot, scorching its beak and claws red and turning its body black in the process. Its sacrifice is why Black Bulbuls have those distinguishing features today.
