I have become a brother to jackals and a companion of ostriches.

"An ostrich's wings beat wildly, although its pinions lack plumage.

It leaves its eggs on the ground and lets them be warmed by the sand,

forgetting that a foot may crush them or a wild animal trample on them.

It treats its chicks heartlessly, as if they were not its own; even if her labor is in vain, it really doesn't care;

Even jackals bare their breasts in order to nurse their young, but the daughters of my people have become as cruel as ostriches in the desert.
