Early one day a hunter set out to hunt bear in the mountains. He came across three bears. He successfully shot the first bear and the second bear, but when he tried to shoot the third, his gun kept jamming. The elders said, "This means our ancestors were saying that two bears were enough; no need to shoot another."
關於獵熊，布農族有則故事說，有個獵人一早出發到山上打獵，竟然接連看到 3 隻熊，第一隻開槍射擊打中，第 2 隻也順利打中，但是要打第 3 隻時卻連續幾發子彈都沒爆開，「老人家說，這表示祖先說話了── 2 隻熊已經夠了，不要再打了！」
