There used to be a small village on the mountain. The villagers there
cannot tell the seasons and are unable to farm successfully. A young man
named Aluo decides to go and look for the legendary cuckoo who could
tell the seasons by himself. Along the way, Aluo helps a frog and feeds
a rooster. Aluo's kindness touches their hearts. They decide to help
Aluo find the cuckoo. They find the Red River Goddess who tells them
that the cuckoo lives in the golden bamboo forest in the sky. She gives
them a golden leaf, which can be used to call the cuckoo. She also warns
them that one of them might even be killed. However, they are not
frightened by the difficulties ahead of them. They manage to fly into
the sky with their intelligence, and enter the golden bamboo forest
after they help the old cattle finish ploughing the endless fields with
their creativity. While Aluo is whistling with the golden leaves in the
golden bamboo forest, the brave, kind, and wise Aluo turns into a divine
cuckoo bird. As he protects his beloved hometown, the villagers are able
to farm based on seasons and live good lives with years of harvests.
