He let go of the hawk against a distant partridge. The partridge ran away from its cruel enemy and it threw within a deep depth. The hawk continued its flight after the following the partridge and in its capture

The hawk took as much in returning to the hands of its owner so he was afraid to lose it. At that monent began to make some formalities to recover it. He wanted to go down that depth but it was impossible (There were not stairs that it has today). He arranged that a servant went down helped of a rope. The servant went down and there he was astonished of which it was seing in that place: a wonderful altarpiece composed of a splendid bramble in whose right side was the image of Our Lady of The Rock and in the left the alive partridge. Nest to them it was the hawk that, free of their cruelty and without a bloody instinct, it seemed to be suspended and admired to see so beautiful spectacle in so hidden place.
