CRO CRO AND ERA CLEA (G.Lanzani )

 

Cro-Cro was an hippopotamus very  meagre that  was suffering for anorexia. He was fall in love with a beautiful hyppo female--that was called   Sbiricchina and he wasn’t returned. Therefore he stood every times sad and lonely

put in the river Bru and cried low sobbing. 

One day came near him the crane Was-Clean ( noble of family that instead was suffering of bulimia and was so enormous that can’t fly: she had a mass just like a Jumbo Jet, just think !) . Seeing the hyppo so tired she asked him the reason of his sadness and he told her the story of his life. 

Was Clean was touched and fell in love with the poor Cro-Cro: she decide to devote herself to comfort the poor animal.  Yes dear reader because it’s a question of animals….

 

 

Cro Cro was touched in his turn and for the first time in his life he felt loved and so a tender passion was born between the two. You must know that the father of Cro-Cro was a inhuman hyppo that brought many sons into the world and after went strolling and carousing all over the world without thinking of them.

His mother on the contrary was a famous hippo-female mezzo-soprano and mezzo no, that touhgt only to her career and that never had the time to attend to him. She was Granma Bighyppo that practically brought him in the best ways, but nothing can do to stop that terrible depression of Cro that  at this point  weigh, just think two grammy awards and half without the bone !  A beautiful love story was born you are thinkin and the two animals  retook a normal weight and dimension …. 

Unfortunately no my dear. You must know that in the marsh there was a king that didn’t tolerate loves between differents and that when knew the story sent to them and and gave them a dressing down threatening terribles  pains and big disasters for the all community if they had permitted a scandal of that size.

Cro-Cro and Was Clean continued to fall in love  but must stop to frequent himself and simulate of nothing.

What a pity you  can tell…Yes, but you must know that the midge-male Priscilla secretely carried  to each other little messages and in this covert way their love never ended.

However unfortunately they rest the one meagre, almost  invisible, and the other very enormous, easy to identify also from the space! 

 P.S. Today an e-mail has arrived to me from the moscerina Priscilla, with which I'm in relationship of friendship from when we have crossed together the river Mekong in the summer of the 89, me on board of a Defender Land Rover and her stuck to the back lunotto. Well, Priscilla tells me some big novelties: you think that the king has been outcast for a revolt of the swamp against one law of his that forbade to eat pastries on Sundays and to his place has been crowned queen  Priscilla that was made to love from all the animals for her humanity ( if does him to say...). Is it Cro and Era it? They live together and they are happy: if you go to the swamp  you can see them embraced that they look at the the moon on the edges of the second right pond, called Pond of the Remembrances.
