Many many years ago,
A four legged rooster was born,
At first, everyone was in awe, then,
Some thought it would make a good meal,
While others thought it’s special and should be looked after.
Arguments turned into fights, so the judge had to intervene;
Verdict;
“Stuff the bird and fix it on my roof as a weather vane, a memorial of justice,
so it would be a good lesson for the future birds that they should not be born with extra legs”
To this day, one can see the weather vanes and compasses show the wrong directions there.
Some say that folly was so deeply rooted there that it affected everything forever,
others believed that it was the curse of the four legged rooster.
