Ukuba uke wafika ePuerto Rico kwaye uphuma waya kumahlathi emvula okanye naphi na ngaphaya kweso sixeko sasezidolophini, ngokukhawuleza uza kuthatyathwa yi-mascot yasePuerto Rico engafanelekanga. Ngeke ukwazi ukubona umthombo wale ngoma, kodwa unokuyiva ngokuqinisekileyo: i-orchestra ebhaliweyo enezandi ezimbini ezifana nale: Co-qui.
Yaye yileyo ndlela inhlobo encinane yomthi i-frog ehlala ePuerto Rico. I-coquí, ubuncinane kum, enye yemimangaliso yasePuerto Rico .
Ezi zityalo eziphilayo zihlala emahlathini esiqithi (nangona ziye zaziswa kwi-US nakwezinye iziqithi) kwaye zincinci kakhulu: zifikelela kwi-intshi ezi-1 ukuya kwe-2 ubude kwaye zilinganisa phakathi kwe-2 ne-4 i-ounces. Okumangalisa kukuba, oko kwenza ukuba ibe ngenye yezinkukhu ezinkulu ePuerto Rico. Kwaye kwenza ukuba kukhangele ngakumbi ukuba isandi abavelisa sikhulu! Ifowuni ye-coquí icacile, iphezulu kwaye ingenakunakwenzeka. Kwaye ukuba uthe wachitha ubusuku okanye amabini e- El Yunque , uya kuliva ingoma yabo ubusuku bonke ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa. Le symphony inokukuqhubela iincinci okanye ikukhuphe ukuba ulale.
Aba bantu abancinci abayinto emangalisayo ngenxa yomculo wabo. I-coquí (igama lesayensi ye- Eleutherodactylus coqui, elithetha "iinzwane ezikhululekile") ) zihluke kumaxoxo amaninzi kuba ayinayo inyawo; Kunoko, iinzwane zabo zineempawu ezikhethekileyo ezibavumela ukuba bakhuphuke baze banamathele emithini nasemacaleni. Ingoma ye-coquí ikhiqizwa ngabafana beentlobo ukukhanga amabhinqa kunye nokudibanisa abaqhubi ngexesha lexesha lokukhula.
(Ukubonelelwa ukuba uvame kangakanani ukuva le ngxolo kunoko lonke unyaka, loo nto iyonke yokudlala ngothando okanye ukuposa!). Ngokungafani namagqabi, i-coquí ayinayo i-tadpole stage: ivela kumaqanda ayo njengamaqabana amancinane eneemisila, apho iindoda ezibukeleyo (iinqununu zamadoda zixakeke kakhulu, azinjalo).
Ii-Coquí ziye zadlula kwi-Puerto Rico, kwaye ziyinxalenye yenkcubeko yesiqithi. Uza kufumana amathoyizi e-coquí, iincwadi kunye nee-t-shirts kunaliphi na isitolo se- souvenir eSan Juan. Amaziko amaninzi aphethe igama elithi "Coquí," kunye nePuerto Rican inguqu ye-egg ebizwa ngokuba yi-coquito (ingumxube we-rum, i-sinamoni, i-clove, ikhonkco kunye neqanda, ukuba ufuna ukuzama; ungathengela iibhotile kwi siqithi). Kukho ibali eliqhelekileyo (elixhaswa yiNkonzo yeeHlathi ye-USDA, ngendlela) ukuba "ityala imvula" e-El Yunque. Kubonakala ukuba, abantwana abancinci bavame ukuzithoba kwihlathi lomhlaba, apho bavelele khona kwiindawo zabo zokudla. Esikhundleni sokwenza i-scramble ekhukhulayo kunye nexesha elidlulayo phantsi kwegxolo kwindawo yokufihla, iingqungquthela ezingenakunqwenela nje ziqalise emoyeni kwaye zihambele ngqo phantsi.
