One night while Bucag, an Ati shaman meditating at the bank of the mountain lake, he saw the Bueacao bird catching fire while in mid air and then it plummeted into the lake.
He immediately ran toward where it landed. He hide among the grasses and bushes in order to hide from its deadly light.
To his surprise he saw a lovely naked lady wading on the lake. Then he saw a pair of flaming wings hanging at a branch of a tree that touched the water of the lake.
He knew that the enchanted lady owned the flaming wings. He decided to snatched the wings but he don't know how to do it for it was flaming. He decided to bath it with water.
He cut a bamboo tube and fetched water on it. Then he splashed the water on the wings and it was soaked and stopped burning. He touched it but it was not hot so he decided to carry it home.
On the next morning in his hut by the forest, the naked lady came and now begging him to return her wings,
but Bucag wanted to know more about her secrets. The lady promised him wisdom for healing ailments of his tribe. The lady also told him that she will leave to him one of her feathers that will served as his protection from any flaming birds whenever he encountered it.
He returned the wings and the lady vanished after she had wear it.
Bucag became a famous shaman in the land of Ati.
