Hola, hoy vengo por acá a contarles acerca de uno de las historias populares de Santa Clara "El burro Perico", al cual incluso le dedicamos un monumento por el amor y cariño que el pueblo de Santa Clara tuvo hacia este.
Su Historia:
Aunque este animal se dedicó junto a sus distintos dueños a realizar diferentes actividades, su historia de "fama" viene una vez que gracias a su esfuerzo su dueña decide comprar un camión y liberar del trabajo a este animal que tanto se había esforzado por ellos. Aunque este tenía garantizada su comida no dejó morir el ingenio que le caracterizaba y todos los días este seguía saliendo, esta vez solo por las calles de Santa Clara.
Los inicios fueron duros, las personas no estaban acostumbrados a verlo solo caminando por ahí pero poco a poco se gano el cariño de los niños lo cual le garantizaba que recibiera caramelos de parte de los pequeños, pero todo no acabó ahí haciendo uso de su buena memoria el comenzó a visitar a las personas que él recordaba que en algún momento de su vida le habían ofrecido alimento y les tocaba a sus puertas con el objetivo de que le brindaran algo de comer. Aquello le encanto a las personas el simple hecho de brindarle un poco de pan se convirtió en una especie de pago por presenciar como aquel animal con su carisma tocaba en la casa de cada uno de sus amigos. En varias ocaciones incluso oficiales de la policía lo llegaron a considerar un ciudadano de pleno derecho de Villa Clara. Los ciudadanos le llegaron a tener un gran amor a este, no es de sorprender que el día de su muerte escuelas, trabajadores, ancianos y una gran cantidad de personas del pueblo de Villa Clara asistieran para darles flores y decirle un último adiós a quien hace mucho ya lo consideraban su amigo.
Actualmente:
Sin querer generalizar creo que la mayoría de las personas de Santa Clara hemos oído hablar de él y no solo por el parque que lleva su nombre sino porque de generación en generación los abuelos y padres le han hecho esta historia a los mas pequeños y aunque existen pocas fotos de él la estatua ubicada en el parque que se conoce por llevar su nombre nos hace imaginar no solo su apariencia sino el cariño que este animal con un gesto tan humilde se ganó.
Aunque ya conocía su historia me apoye en el articulo publicado en Ecured para redactarlo.

Hi, today I come around here to tell you about one of the popular stories of Santa Clara "El burro Perico", to which we even dedicated a monument for the love and affection that the people of Santa Clara had towards him.
His story:
Although this animal was dedicated, together with its different owners, to carry out different activities, its story of "fame" comes once that, thanks to its effort, its owner decides to buy a truck and free this animal from work that had so much strived for them. Although this one had guaranteed its food, it didn't let die the ingenuity that characterized it and every day this one continued going out, this time only through the streets of Santa Clara.
The beginnings were hard, the people weren't used to seeing it just walking around there but little by little it won the affection of the children, which guaranteed that it would receive candy from the little ones, but it all didn't end there, making use of its good memory, it started visiting the people who remembered that at some point in their life they had offered food to him and knocked on their doors with the objective that they would give him something to eat. That delighted the people, the simple fact of giving him a piece of bread became a kind of payment for witnessing how that animal with its charisma knocked on the door of each one of its friends. On several occasions, even officials of the police considered him a full-fledged citizen of Villa Clara. The citizens came to love him very much, it's no wonder that on the day of his death, schools, workers, elders, and a large number of people from the town of Villa Clara attended to give him flowers and say a final goodbye to who they had considered their friend for a long time.
Nowadays:
Without wanting to generalize, I think that the majority of the people of Santa Clara have heard of him and not only because of the park that bears his name but because, from generation to generation, grandparents and parents have told this story to the youngest and, although there are few pictures of him, the statue located in the park that is known for bearing his name makes us imagine not only his appearance but also the affection that this animal with such a humble gesture won.
Although I already knew his story, I relied on the article published in Ecured to write it.
