Explanation:

This is a Spanish vocabulary - filling - in - the - blanks exercise. We need to translate the English prompts in parentheses into Spanish phrases to fill in the blanks. Let's solve each blank one by one:

Horizontal

1. "forbidden and legendary" can be translated as "prohibido y legendario", but according to the context of the sentence "Ésta es la historia de un amor (forbidden and legendary) ____ __ ____", the correct phrase should be "prohibido y legendario" (but the number of blanks seems to be three, maybe a typo, and the most appropriate phrase for "forbidden and legendary" in Spanish is "prohibido y legendario").
2. "the story" in Spanish is "la historia", so for "Es (the story) __ __ de una prenda verde y azul", we fill in "la historia".
3. "lived on" in the context of "Billy (lived on) ____ ____ el cuello de un hombre alto" can be translated as "vivía en", so we fill in "vivía en".
4. "in case you don't know him" in Spanish is "por si no lo conoces", so for "Su nombre era Billy la Bufanda, (in case you don't know him) ____ __ __ __ ____", we fill in "por si no lo conoces".
5. "was happy" in Spanish is "estaba contento", so for "Billy (was happy) ____ ____ con su vida en soledad", we fill in "estaba contento".
6. "the tall man" in Spanish is "el hombre alto", so for "Un día, estaba nevando y (the tall man) ____ __ ____ estaba caminando", we fill in "el hombre alto".
7. "Later" in Spanish is "Más tarde", but for " (Later) ____ ____ se despertó Billy", we fill in "Más tarde".

4. "he cleaned himself" in Spanish is "se limpió", so for "Billy se levantó, (he cleaned himself) ____ ____, y las vio", we fill in "se limpió".
5. "there was" in Spanish (for plural nouns, because "dos botas" is plural) is "había", so for "Allí en el suelo, (there was) ______ dos botas muy hermosas", we fill in "había".
6. "skipped a beat" in Spanish is "un latido", so for "El corazón de Billy le dio (skipped a beat) ____ ____", we fill in "un latido".
