Once upon a time, in a cozy chicken coop nestled on a quaint Italian farm, there was an extraordinary egg named Enzo.

Just after Enzo was laid everyone could tell there was something different about him. The first sign was the weird sound the hen made when she was laying Enzo, it was a little bit out of tune. The second sign was Enzo’s funny wobbly walk, he was always losing his balance.

One sunny morning, as the farm animals gathered around to meet the new eggs, they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Enzo wiggling and jiggling. Giovanni, the wise old rooster, approached him with a friendly smile.

"Buongiorno, Enzo! Welcome to our farm. You're quite the unique egg, aren't you?"

Enzo, replied: “Yes, I think there’s something different about me, but I can’t put my finger on it, maybe that’s just because I don’t actually have a finger.“

Giovanni said: “We probably should take you to the egg testing centre and have the doctors look at you.“

The next day, first thing in the morning, Enzo woke up abruptly to Giovanni’s sunrise crow.

Giovanni said: “Let’s go Enzo, it’s time for us to find out what’s going on“

After a whole morning in the testing centre, they finally had an answer. Through an x-ray examination they found out that unlike the other eggs, Enzo was born without a yolk. Yes, you heard that right - an egg without a yolk, it was no joke! But this little egg was determined to make the most of his uniqueness.

Enzo: "Grazie, Giovanni for helping me. I might not have a yolk, but I have a dream! I want to become a fabulous Italian meringue!"

The other eggs giggled, but Giovanni nodded his head in admiration.

Giovanni: "That's a wonderful dream, Enzo. Follow your heart, and you'll see, marvellous things will happen!"

Enzo was thrilled by Giovanni's encouragement, and he set out on a journey to make his dream come true.

Enzo's worked hard sending letters to he best meringue chefs in Italy. One day he got an answer, a chef was coming all the way from the other end of Italy to take Enzo back with him.

Everyone on the farm was really sad to see Enzo go, but they were happy for him because he was very close to achieving his dream.

When they got to the chef’s home town, the chef set out to make the best work of his life. He spent hours making Enzo into a meringue. When he was finished he couldn’t be more proud of what he had achieved. Enzo was the most beautiful meringue he had ever made. As light as the clouds with a touch of heaven in the taste.

The chef put Enzo in the most special place in the window of his artisan patisserie.

A couple in love, visiting the small Italian village, passed by the patisserie. Their eyes lit up as they saw Enzo. They asked the chef about that meringue and the chef told them about Enzo’s incredible journey.

They knew they had found something special. They bought Enzo and tried to find a special place to celebrate. They found a hill and sat there watching the sunset.

As they savoured the meringue, the couple noticed a picture of Enzo, as an egg, in the box, along with a brief description of his journey from the cozy chicken coop to becoming a culinary sensation.

Every time they looked at the picture, they were reminded of Enzo's determination, his journey, and the joy that could be found in the most unexpected places. Their love grew stronger, as Enzo's story became a source of inspiration, reminding them that even seemingly impossible dreams could come true when worked on with passion, dedication, and a little bit of wobble.
