A Visit from the Stork

Several factors contributed to the belief in the stork as the bringer of babies. People watched the stork take care in making its home, and they noted how out of devotion it returned to the same spot each year. Also, the storks love water, and tradition held that it was in watery places that souls of the unborn children dwelt.

Example:

A: Hi, Al. Heard you had a visit from the stork the other day.
B: Sure did! A bouncing baby boy! I've gotta admit -the doctor deserves some of the credit, too.
