The rooster of the Cathedral

There was once a very rich man who lived like a king. He always ate breakfast in the morning. Then he rested. Then, having lunch and in the afternoon, he went outside. Down to the Plaza Grande. He stood before the rooster of the Cathedral and mocked the statue. Then Ramon walked down the slope of Santa Catalina. He entered the tent Ms. Mariana to take a mistelas. And one day when he returned home, Ramon was already drunk. Then he started making fun of the rooster. At the time, Ramon felt something tearing the legs. He was wounded. The rooster held him and would not let him move. Then, I hear a voice that demanded to apologize and fails to take mistelas. Then the rooster returned to his post. And when it was over he knew what actually happened: Don Ramon's friends played a joke to him to take the vice mistelas.
