Read the passage
As the belated traveller makes his way through the monotonous plains of Australia, through the Bush, with its level expanses and clumps of
grey-blue gum trees, he Occasionally hears a singular sound. Beginning low, with a kind of sharp tone thrilling through a whirring noise, It grows
louder and louder, till it becomes a sort of fluttering windy roar, if the traveller be a new comer, he is probably puzzled to the last degree. If he be
an Englishman, country-bred, he says to himself, "Why, that is the bull-roarer.' [...]
The instrument which produces the sounds that warn women to remain afar is a toy familiar to English country lads. They call it the bull-
roarer. The common bull-roarer is an inexpensive toy which anyone can make. I do not, however, recommend it to families, for two reasons. In the
first place, it produces a most horrible and unexampled din, which endears it to the very young, but renders it detested by persons of mature age.
In the second place, the character of the toy is such that it will almost infallibly break all that is fragile in the house where it is used, and will
probably put out the eyes of some of the inhabitants.
(from "The Bull-Roarer" by Andrew Lang)
