An interesting Legend to Brazil – ''Romaozinho'' is a Tale of a rather cruel boy who tortured animals and Nature in general. He particularly like to torture chickens. One day, He got made at His Mother for sending Him to work with His Father out in the Forests. After working many hours in the heat, Romaozinho's Father found He forgot His lunch, and sent the boy home to fetch it. This further angered the boy, but He did as He was told. He was given a cooked chicken by His Mother. On the way back to His Father, the boy ate the chicken and left only bones. He gave the bones to His Father who was very upset that His Wife did this. Romaozinho said that His ''Mother was busy eating chicken with a Man who ALWAYS comes over after His Father leaves for work''. ''Seeing Red'', Father ran home and stabbed His Wife to death. But son, He found out that His Son had lied. Regretful – but truly angered, the boy's Father cursed Him. ''You Will NEVER Grow Old, and Live Forever for Your Treachery!'' From this point until today, Romaozinho has never aged and is quite upset about it. He regularly will kill a Farmers Chicken's (leaving only bones). And although seen as malevolent, He can be kind at times as well. As a possible way to atone for His transgressions – He will often used His ''power'' to ease the suffering of Mother's having a particular hard time delivering their infants in Childbirth.
