Summary

The crying of the Wind tells the beasts of prey where to find people, and when it blows strongly they can approach the dwelling unheard, etc. (L V.-23. 5846-5857). People must hide when the wind blows strongly, as it means that the lion is coming for them and the blowing hides the sound of its approach from the dogs.
