I Giorni
Once upon a time, blackbirds were white
Popular tales said that it all began with a quarrel between a white female Blackbird and a short January. Well, once upon a time, blackbirds were white, the first month of the year counted 28 days and the second 31.
Every time our Blackbird left her nest to find food at the beginning of the year, mischievous January used to cause bitter cold on earth. So, one year, she decided to stay hidden until the 28 days of January passed.
Then, convinced to be safe, Blackbird started to sing loudly and to make fun of her enemy. But January heard her sought revenge, asking February three extra days to bring very freezing cold weather.
Blackbird had to hide again but, being far away from her nest, she found just a chimney stack for shelter. After three days, when going out, she had become sooty black.
And now, they are sooty black!
Starting this year, all blackbirds remain black, January has still 31 days while February just 28. And remember that, the coldest the Giorni
