Actually, the history does not treat itself about
a pine, but about a cypress which raises solitarily to the shore of
the way in the plot number 20. The villagers say that in this place
the devil goes out, and everyone that circulates along this place
in winter nights, meet the devil or he jumps to his horse's haunch.
Because of it the southerners, when they travel to the north side
try to leave before the naight falls down.
They tell that a man who lives in the south side of the island, one
day on Tuesday he went to visit his sister who lives in the north
side. After having dinner, he said goodbye to his sister, took his
motorcycle and he departed course to his house.
It was about six o'clock in the afternoon; he was going through the
plot number 19 in front of the "Santiago", when he felt
that someone went up to his motorcycle. There was so great his fear
that was not daring to look backward. He tried to stop his vehicle,
but this one did not obey and continued advancing. The man felt his
sweating go across him, but he was not able to emit sound.
When he reach the "orphaned pine", he felt that a man in
black, that is to say the devil, went down the motorcycle and disappeared.
This man arrived to his house "with the heart in the hands"
, where he told what had happened. That night he could not sleep thinking
about what he had lived, and he promised to his self not to return
by night to his house anymore.
