Love and loyalty are the words when we talk about two storks from Brodska Varos, Croatia. It all began in 1993 when Stjepan Vokic, a school superintendent in Brodska Varos, found a stork with a hurt wing from a hunter’s bow. He adopted this bird and has since then healed it because the poor stork could obviously no longer fly. He named the stork Malena, and during the whole winter he took good care of her. 9 years ago another stork named Klepetan fell in love with Malena. Each spring, Klepetan returns from warmer climates back to Malena, on the same day, almost at the same hour. Since then, the happy couple from Brodska Varos has made 35 baby birds.
這個故事發生在克羅地亞的Brodska Varos,一位學校的校長Stjepan發現了一只被獵人打傷的仙鶴。可憐的仙鶴后來被這位校長所收養并治愈了它的傷病,可是它卻永遠不能在藍天自由得翱翔。他將這只仙鶴取名為Malena,在那整個冬季都對它照顧得很好。9年后,一只被取名為Klepetan的仙鶴與Malena墜入了愛河。每年春天,在同一天的同一時間,Malena都會從南方回到Malena的身邊。自從那時開始,這對幸福的仙鶴夫婦生下了35只愛情的結晶。
