Marto's arrival

Children are waiting for someone or something to visit them: it's Marto. They're very surprised when they see it and say that it's only a puppet. It isn't a real stork, it's a toy pet. Marto says hello to the children and tells them it is a magic stork. It didn't come from Bulgaria by flying on its own, but travelling with a teacher. In Bulgaria it used to live in a nest on the school's chimney. It came here to know Italian children and let them know about Bulgaria. Children remember they have been hearding about it by their sisters and brothers attending primary school, as they said it came there before. They're very happy it's here now and it's going to become their friend.
