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.
这个故事发生在克罗地亚的Brodska Varos，一位学校的校长Stjepan发现了一只被猎人打伤的仙鹤。可怜的仙鹤后来被这位校长所收养并治愈了它的伤病，可是它却永远不能在蓝天自由得翱翔。他将这只仙鹤取名为Malena，在那整个冬季都对它照顾得很好。9年后，一只被取名为Klepetan的仙鹤与Malena坠入了爱河。每年春天，在同一天的同一时间，Malena都会从南方回到Malena的身边。自从那时开始，这对幸福的仙鹤夫妇生下了35只爱情的结晶。

This year at 13rd March a male stork landed on the roof of the school building in Brodska Varos. Stjepan thought that that it was Klepetan but he thought it was a bit weird because he always use to come around 24th March. It was another male stork that Malena scared away from her nest. When Klepetan did not appear after 24 March Stjepan was afraid that he had died on the way from Africa or that it is already too old to travel all the way from there to Croatia.
在今年的3月13日，一只仙鹤着陆在了学校建筑物的屋顶上。Stjepan认为它可能是Klepetan，但是有点奇怪的是它一般只会来3月24日来到这里。Malena在它的巢里吓了一大跳，显然那位小三不是它的丈夫。当Klepetan在3月24日没有出现的时候Stjepan心想它可能已经死在回这里的路上了，又或者它已经老得不能飞回克罗地亚了。

When almost everyone gave up on hoping that he would come, Klepetan still came, followed by the Croatian media, and landed on the nest to be with his Malena. And therefore this unique love story from the animal world of love and commitment of two white storks, called Malena and Klepetan, can still continue!
当所有人都几乎放弃Klepetan会回来的时候，它最终还是回来了，回到了它和Malena狗共铸的爱巢里。这个在动物界与众不同的爱情故事又两只名叫Malena 和 Klepetan白鹤来承诺，并且还会继续下去。
