g g · Malti: Daqquqa tat-Toppu

~ Ingliz: Hoopoe l_.~ntifi~Upupa epoJ»

bdejt i!~berdwocing, kont inqalleb fil~kotba nipprova nitgnallem sew l~gnamla tc{kull gnasfur li Malta. Meta

nara 1-!stampa tad-Daqquqa tat-Toppu, kont nitnawwad ~ gnalkemm sflabi kienu jgnidu li huwa gnasfur komuni, bilkemm kont irrid nemmen li f'Malta jigu ghasafar ta' dan it-tip! lmbagnad rajt Daqquqa ghali-ewwel darba ... u

kemm verament UNIKU.

Uniku fl-gnamla, uniku fl-ilwien, uniku fl-imgiba. Ftit izgnar minn narnierna, tawwali, rnunqartwil u mgnawweg,

saqajn qosra, lewn f1amrani kulur is-

salarnun bi strixxi bojod u fuq gwinnajh qisu "zebra crossing"! U fuq kollox toppu kbir roza, abjad u iswed li jinfetan qisu rnrewna ....

Gnastur tal-noim, imsomma! Anke t-titjira g11andu stramba, donnu jaqbez rna' kull qadfa tal-gwienan. L­gnajta, li rari tinstema' Malta, hija: "Uupuupu"- gnalt1ekk bl-lngliz jissejjafl Hoopoe.

ld-Daqquqa tat-Toppu tbejjet f'flafna pajjizi fi-Ewropa, x'aktarx lejn in-nofsinhar tal-kontinent, u anke fi-Afrika

izda tkun inqas komuni mir-rebbiegna. Nistgnu niltaqgnu mad-Daqquqa kullimkien (anke

f'xi gonna f'nofs ii-Belt!), imma tippreferi nflawi bil­blat u ftit sigar imferrxin. L-isban cans biex tara wandahija li ii tmur mixja ma' 1-irdumijietjewf'xi wied mingnajr kaccaturi (jekk je.Zisti !) , 1-afljarfir-rebbiegfla. X'aktarx tittajjar mill-art, fejn tflobb toqgnod tfittex insetti rqaq u xagnat. Hija u tfittex 1-ikel, spiss tiftan u tagfllaq it-toppu, bnallikieku biex tingflogob mal­berdwocer!

Meia aqbdu d.ik iHromba u erflu!ha lejn xi rokna kwieta fil-kampanja. Meta taraw Daqquqa tat-Toppu, tibdew tifhmu gflaliex Klabb rtuttaf jirsisti gnall­narsien ta' 1-gflasafar.
