Some families celebrate this in the way, that they put a wooden stork in front of the house when the baby has arrived.
The white stork is a sign for luck in Germany and as the white stork is a migratory bird who fly to Africa over the winter, and returns in spring he is associated with new life.
Did you know: Walt Disney uses for the white stork bringing the small elephant Dumbo ? the name Adebar. In old Germania it comes from ade = luck and bar = bear.
So please share, where your babies come from. I think e.g. in France ?? they come from an other place? ?
Hey @TorM , your post is featured in Friday Favorites, congrats!
It’s an interesting topic, and it’s really cute that in Germany a white stork is placed when the baby arrives
Here in Argentina we also have the cabbage story, I know about the white stork story too but I believe the cabbage one is the most used. I’m not so sure as I wasn’t told a story as far as I know, I don’t think I ever asked
I’m very curious about the stories told in other places: @NirajBhusal what about Nepal?
Hello @TorM Congratulations on Friday Favorite Choice Amusing story and yes I have seen the stork in movies but didn’t know about the Luck part. Here in Ireland, when children asked their Mother’s , Where did I come from, the Mothers, too Embarrassed to say the biological meaning they would say, Oh, I found you under a Cabbage. So, Cabbage plants were grown in huge field by farmers and we grew them in our garden to have with dinner. I used to search my garden for any babies all the time in hope of a new sister.
One Christmas, a new toy came out called ,Cabbage patch dolls/babies and one Christmas morning, I woke up and looked under the Christmas tree to see what Santa Claus had left me, and there it was and I wondered, why has Santa left me something that he found under a Cabbage! But I loved her just the same.
