gfaure probably meant something we now would consider completely unrelated. An owl hooted twice, and then the child died. So two hoots from a certain type of owl predicts a death in the house. As silly as this sounds to us today, there's a huge survival value in making these kinds of connections. Certain smells and tastes predict toxic subtances, certain noises predict predators or natural disasters, and certain animal behaviours predict all kinds of calamities. |
