Interesting Facts About Storks

• There are about 100,000 White Storks in Poland, so no wonder it's their national bird.  Equally unsurprisingly, when the cold winter arrives in Eastern Europe, the storks fly down to Africa for an extended winter holiday.
• When storks' eggs hatch, the young are called goslings rather than chicks.
• Will and Guy ponder: 'What started the myth that the stork brought babies to their parents?'   We can imagine an old midwife being called out for an urgent confinement.  As she hurries along she notices a White Stork flying in the direction that she was heading.  When she entered the mother's bedroom the baby had already arrived, she thought whimsically, it was that stork who delivered this baby.

Stork Story

Here is an amusing poem written by Shel Silverstein about a stork:

You know the stork brings babies,
But did you also know
He comes and gets the older folks
When it's their time to go?

Zooms right down and scoops them up,
Then flaps back out the door
And flies them to the factory where
They all were made before.

And there their skin is tightened up,
Their muscles all are toned,
Their wrinkles all are ironed out,
They're given brand-new bones.

Ol' bent backs are straightened up,
New teeth are added too,
Tired hearts are all repaired
And made to work like new.

Their memories are all removed
And they're shrunk down, and then
The stork flies them back down to earth
As newborn babes again.

Enjoy one of Aesop's Fables

At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner, and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and left the meal as hungry as when she began.

'I am sorry,' said the Fox, 'The soup is not to your liking.'
'Pray do not apologise,' said the Stork. 'I hope you will return this visit, and come and dine with me soon.'

So a day was appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork; but when they were seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the outside of the jar.

'I will not apologise for the dinner,' said the Stork, 'One bad turn deserves another.'
