Portuguese Gallito predicts the weather

Good day steemit!

I was in a Bazaar in the Galician Center of Maripérez, there were any type of sales but the one that caught my attention was the one of souvenir that represented to Portugal and undoubtedly to the Galicians. They had any number of memories of their culture from so much watching I saw a cock and asked them out of curiosity. What does that cock for you?

The saleswoman tells me is a cock that in Portugal and in the countries where we are always have it in our home, office, etc., because it predicts time. At that moment, listening to the people who were around me when I asked the question caused a very strong whisper of the astonishment of what the girl informed us, in view of the bustle came an older Galician and spoke a short legend of the famous gallito , Explained to us that it was a Galician who, on the way to Santiago, accused him unjustifiably, he, in order to save himself from being declared innocent by the judge, said that the rooster he was eating would sing when he was to be executed. After listening to the lord I asked another question: How does the cock to predict the weather?

The senior Galician tells the saleswoman now you have to explain the role of our Portuguese cock. The girl with great confidence began to tell us that she is covered with a material that changes colors according to the humidity that is the environment whose usefulness is telling us what is the time of day.

Then he made the clarification of the colors:

• When it turns blue, we have to be happy is going to make a sunny day and good weather.

• If it is pink, it means that a umbrella or umbrella is going to rain us.

. When you have two colors blue and pink, caution is a day or a cloudy moment, it leaves us to the expectation if it is going to make sun or rain.

After all the information, he also told us that they call it a hygrometer because it measures ambient humidity and makes a certain short-term weather forecast.

In view of all the receptivity that these people transmitted with kindness, security and above all excellent customer service, I think they ran out of cockerels, for the amount of purchases.

When I got to my house I took the paper out of the cock and I did not imagine that it comes with indications in four languages ​​(Spanish, Portuguese, English and French); I placed it near the window and totally true colors, now to do my errands, go to work, etc., the first thing I will do is to see my "Gallito del Tiempo" I can take it wherever I want and thus I will have the forecasts Relevant.

I recommend that when they have the opportunity to buy them, it is very functional especially in our country that the weather is so variant. For other countries it is important for its seasons.
