It’s a story about taking things too far, about sticking to your guns, and about a community rallying together to stand up to a tyrant.  The village of La Paz started out as a place where everyone sang all the time, but when the noise became too much to take, they hired a mayor who instituted such rules as to make the village completely silent.  The mayor finally met his match in a rooster who found such joy he could not help but sing.  One by one the mayor took away all the things that were giving the rooster joy, but there was always something more worth singing about.  When the mayor finally threatened to turn the rooster into soup, the rooster insisted that a song would never die as long as there was someone to sing it, at which point the entire village joined together to take up the rooster’s song and drive away the bullying mayor.
