Teriakan mereka melengking dan jernih, halus, dan jatuh seperti benang-benang cahaya sutra yang terlepas dari gulungan berputar."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

But the notes were long and shrill and whirring, unlike the cry of vermin, falling a third or a fourth and trilled as the flying beaks clove the air. Their cry was shrill and clear and fine and falling like threads of silken light unwound from whirring spools.
