NAME:
Dia asked for the Year: – What year are we in? The Year asked for the Day: – What day is it today?”. The Month asked for the Hour: – What time is it?”. Hora consulted the cuckoo, who replied: – Cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo!, stop pressuring me or I'll end up crazy. Then the Hour complained with the Day, which complained with the Year, which complained with the Century. This one, older and wiser, did not complain; he woke up from his secular sleep and said, “Stop tormenting the poor cuckoo! Can't you see he's about to go crazy? That's when Momento had an instant idea and gave a Japanese digital clock to the cuckoo, who immediately retired his hands. From then on, everyone started to think that the cuckoo was broken, and even when he, with the new watch on his wrist, tried to give the right time, no one cared. That cuckoo, with no hands, and a Japanese digital watch on his wrist, could only be crazy! – Cuckoo-cuckoo-cuckoo! I'm not crazy! – protested the cuckoo indignantly. But there was no way. Time, who with progress no longer understood the language of cuckoos, explained that crazy people are like that, they never think they're crazy. CUCKOO! CUCKOO! `
