This was okay but i believe it was the devil trying to flood south england. However he only had one night to do it. An old women awoke and heard him. She lit a candle which scared her rooster to sing his song, making the devil think it was morning. He rushed off to avoid daylight leaving villages stunned at the magnificent ditch he had dug. If the rooster hadnt sung the devil would have succeded and the south of england would have been flooded.
