Rooster

• Has become National symbol
• The winning of justice when you fight for it
• The inhabitants of a village were quite alarmed
  with a crime, and this all the more because they
  could not discover the criminal. One day appeared
  an outsider who became suspect at once
• The authorities resolved to seize him and in
  spite of all his oaths of innocence nobody
  believed him. Nobody thought it credible that the
  man was on his way to worship a well known saint
  in a nearby town, St. Tiago. Finally he was
  condemned to death by hanging. As a last request
  before his execution, he asked to be brought once
  more into the presence of the judge who had
  condemned him.

• The request was granted and they lead him to the
  residence of the magistrate, who was just
  banqueting with some friends. The convicted man
  declared again his innocence and in the presence
  of the guests, he pointed to a roasted rooster on
  the table exclaiming "My innocence is as certain
  as the roasted rooster will cry, if I should be
  hung."
• Everybody laughed at him, but nobody dared to
  touch the rooster. However what seemed
  impossible, became reality. When the man was to
  be hung, in that very moment the roasted rooster
  stood up on the table and began crying. Nobody
  doubted any more the innocence of the condemned
  man. They hurried to the gibbet and saw the poor
  man with the rope around his neck. But a free
  knot had avoided his suffocation. Immediately set
  free the man went away in peace.
