HR:
Dvije rode Klepetan i Malena dokazale su da udaljenost čini ljubav jačom.
Njihova ljubav je neraskidiva, a njihova priča jedan od najdirljivijih primjera životinjske predanosti u svijetu.
Sve je počelo 1993. godine kada je domar škole Stjepan, pronašao rodu slomljena krila koju je upucao lovac. Bilo je očito da zbog povrede roda više ne može letjeti. Udomio je ozlijeđenu rodu ,izliječio ju i nazvao Malena. Skrbio je o njoj tokom cijele zime.
S druge strane, njen partner Klepetan nije mogao odoljeti zovu prirode i potrebom za migracijom.Kao i sve druge rode svake godine otputuje u Afriku.
Unatoč tome što Klepetan odlazi, to ne znači da napušta Malenu zauvijek . Činjenica da se vraća k njoj svake godine s putovanja dugog 13 500 km, dokazuje da je njegova ljubav iskrena i stvarna.
Kao pravi muž strogo se drži rasporeda i vraća se gotovo u isto vrijeme u isti dan svake godine.
Klepetan i Malena imaju potomke svake godine. Klepetan je zadužen za poduku mladunaca, jer Malena ne može letjeti. Kada mladunci narastu dovoljno i svladaju tehnike letenja, Klepetan ih vodi sa sobom da prezime u Južnoj Africi, a na proljeće se ponovno vraća Malenoj.
Do sada su odgojili više od 40 mladunaca

Two storks Klepetan and Malena prove that distance only makes the heart grow fonder.
Their love is unbreakable, and their story one of the most touching examples of animal commitment in the world
It all began in 1993 when Stjepan, a school janitor found a stork with a hurted wing after being shoted by hunter . He adopted this bird and healed her because the poor stork couldn't fly any more. He named the stork Malena, and during the whole winter he took good care of her.
On the other hand, her mate Klepetan couldn’t resist to the nature call for migration. Annually Klepetan travels to Africa same as all other storks do.
The fact that Klepetan leaves doesn’t mean he dislikes Malena. . The fact that he returns every year from a trip over 13 500 km long back to Malena ,proves that his love is genuine and real.
Klepetan keeps a very strict schedule like every husband should, he usually arrive back every year at the same time on the same day in March
Klepetan and Malena have baby chicks every year and Klepetan is responsible for their flying lessons since Malena cannot fly. Once when chicks are grown enough and sufficient flyers, Klepetan takes them to South Africa where they stay during winter and then returns again to Malena in the Spring.
The pair raised over 40 small birds so far.
