カチカチ鳥の鳴き声

On the way back, the rabbit used a flint to light fire to the brushwood carried on the raccoon's back with a 'kachi-kachi' (clicking) sound. When the raccoon asked 'What is that sound?', the rabbit replied 'This is Mt. Kachi-Kachi, so the Kachi-Kachi bird is singing,' giving the raccoon a severe burn on its back.
