Pistacho

De la pajarería, Pistacho va a parar a otra jaula, en la casa de un niño al que le gustan las bromas pesadas y los juegos violentos. Como todavía no ha aprendido a cantar, recibe la incomprensión de sus semejantes. Cuando empieza a aceptar que su destino natural es el de ser un pájaro cantor que debe vivir en encierro, aparece una gorrioncita merodeando cerca que, poco a poco, le descubrirá un mundo en el que prevalecen el amor y la libertad.

From the bird shop, Pistachio ends up in another cage, in the house of a boy who likes practical jokes and violent games. Since he has not yet learned to sing, he receives misunderstanding from his peers. When he begins to accept that his natural destiny is to be a songbird who must live in confinement, a little sparrow appears prowling nearby who, little by little, will discover a world where love and freedom prevail.
