This legend develops in the Historical Center of San Luis' beautiful Mexican
city Fortune, where a ghostly figure of a man can be seen with an eccentric
gown; big shoes without sole, gnawed at trousers, a torn sack, a dirty shirt
and a pierced top hat, of which can be observed a lock of hair that resembles
the comb of the roosters. It gives the name of Rooster Maldonado, poet who
a dozens of years ago suffered a dislike that led it to being face-to-face with
the death.
Luis Maldonado falls in love passionately with a beautiful girl called Eugenia,
who was of good family and seemed to correspond to him; she was charmed
with his poems and allowed him to court her without problems, arising this
way a romance that the protagonist thought would be forever.
For his disappointment Eugenia breaks the commitment and asks him not to
look for her any more, and then one informs that the love of his life had
married another man of a lot of money, provoking a horrible depression that
leads him to sheltering in the drink up to losing the reason.
Of nothing, in winter, he’s found dead in his cot. Nevertheless, the Rooster
Maldonado had not gone away of the world forever … Luis' family is
surprised by someone who knock the door in the night saying that he is the
same Luis, they were thinking that it was a joke but actually it was the soul
that from this moment will stroll for the streets in sorrow reciting verses.
They say that occasionally couples who walk along the Historical Center
found a man that dedicates them a poem.
