One day when Brother Simon was praying in the woods and feeling a very great consolation from the Lord in his soul, a flock of birds, called rooks because of the great noise and clamor they make, began to disturb him with their cries, so he ordered them in the name of Jesus to go away and to never come back there again. And it is wonderful to relate that although that Place of Brunforte in the Custody of Fermo existed for over fifty years, those birds were never seen or heard again anywhere around the Place or district or entire region. And I, Brother Ugolino, di Monte Santa Maria, stayed there for three years, and I observed the wonder in a sure way, and it is known among both the lay people and the friars of the whole Custody.
