- 1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 333:
- Andando, andando, llegaron a una miserable choza, habitada por una pobre mujer, a la que San Pedro pidió un harnero para cribar el trigo, que estaba mezclado con muchos abrojos. Mientras hacía esta operación, una clueca famélica le comió la mayor parte de los granos; lo que, visto por el Santo, le hizo montar en cólera, y con el mismo harnero dió muerte a la clueca y a su inocente cría.
