- When Our Lord was to be crucified the robins came and covered him with leaves so that the Jews would not find him. The Jews began to look for Him and the Daradaol (Dardaol) hearing them said:
"He is over there covered with leaves by the robins."
The Jews found Him.
The daradaol is cursed. We are supposed to regard the robin above all the other birds.
