For 15 years, a male white stork named Ake has flown 16,000 kilometers every year to meet a female white stork named Marlena with a disabled wing. However, in the spring of the 16th year, Ake, who should have flown back long ago, did not appear.
Without Acre's news, Marlena was anxious and sad, she fluttered her disabled wings, flew to the highest telephone pole, and looked into the distance obsessively, this look was a whole day.
The old man who took in Marlena was very distressed to see Marlena like this. So, he looked up Ake's flight path on the Internet, and this check, he found a terrible thing.
It turned out that Ake would pass through a place called Lebanon during his flight, where poaching was rampant and many migratory birds were hunted. So whether Ake would have been hunted, the old man did not dare to imagine.
With the mentality of giving it a try, he used the feathers left by Acre as a pen to write a letter to the Lebanese president, telling the love story of Ake and Marlena.
Unexpectedly, the Lebanese president saw the letter, and he was touched by the love story of Marlena and Ake. So he ordered a change in the law to protect migratory birds.
The old man also made a video of Marlena and Ake and uploaded it to the Internet, calling on everyone to protect migratory birds. Tens of millions of netizens were moved by Marlena and Ake, and prayed for Ake's early return.
There are also media live broadcasts 24 hours a day by the nest, expecting Ake's early return, but seeing that spring is about to end, Ake still has not returned. Some netizens gave up, and they began to mourn Ake.
Only Marlena still waits obsessively every day, always convinced that Arc will return.
Unexpectedly, a miracle happened, Ake suddenly flew back, and Marlena immediately fluttered her disabled wings and ran to her lover, snuggling close to it.
Seeing them hugging each other, the old man shed tears of excitement, and netizens around the world were also happy for their reunion.
The old man found that Ake's whole body was stained with blood, God knows, what did he go through along the way? Perhaps it was with her unswerving love for Marlena that it flew back.
So, how did Marlena and Ake meet? The story has to start at the beginning.
In 1993, an elderly man in Croatia was fishing in a river when he spotted a badly injured female white stork. The old man immediately took it home for treatment.
After treatment, although the white stork's injuries healed, its wings were left disabled and it could not fly high. The old man decided to take in the white stork and named it Marlena.
The old man also built a bird's nest for Marlena on the roof, and just like that, one person and one bird spent 10 years together.
Suddenly, one morning, the old man noticed that there was an extra male white stork in Marlena's nest. The old man knew that Marlena was in love. The old man was happy and built a larger nest for them and named the male white stork Ake.
But suddenly one day, Arc flew away. Heartbroken, Marlena began a hunger strike. The old man scolded Akko for being a negative man while forcibly feeding Marlena.
However, in the spring of the following year, Acre flew back.
It turns out that Ake is a migratory bird that flies south every autumn for the winter and back in the spring.
Marlena and Acker raised a total of 66 children in their lifetime, and the children grew up to live alone. Only Marlena and Acker are always in love.
Through research, I learned that white storks are monogamous, and they are very faithful to love, and some white storks choose to die alone after the death of their spouse.
