The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet!/ ¡El gallo que no se callaba!
Carmen Agra Deedy
La Paz is a noisy village until Don Pepe wins an election by promising quiet. He first bans loud singing and then prohibits singing entirely. After years of silence, a rooster arrives and crows despite Don Pepe’s efforts to stop him. The mayor cuts down the rooster’s tree, cages him, removes his corn, and leaves him in darkness, but the rooster continues. He explains that he sings for people who no longer dare, or remember, to sing.
