    The Pee-Wee flew over the Cross and said "Crucify Him", "Crucify Him" and that is why she has the wailing cry today.
    The stork flew next and it said "Give strength to Him", "Give strength to Him".
    The swallow was the last bird that flew over the Cross. "Give drink to him", "Give drink to him", said she.
    The robin flew under the Cross and a drop of the Sacred Blood fell on his breast and that is why he has a red breast today.
