They were Yanomami, but they would transform into toads (Bufo margaritifera). Long ago, these ancestors turned into toads. They lived in a large house and began to sing at 7 PM, never stopping their song and continuing to sing until morning, for they would transform. But these Krõkõ kept singing a single, very ugly song until dawn. Therefore, at 7 AM, the Yõrixiamari bird sang a truly beautiful song. Then everyone made a commotion, shouted loudly, and cursed the Krõkõri, scaring them away, and so they ran away, jumped into the water, and transformed into toads. That is how it happened to the ancestors long ago.,
