The stork preparing its nest is always a sign of Spring. In Spain, people of my generation were told as children that storks brought babies from Paris to married couples.

I was so disappointed in later years to learn the hard facts of life that I acquired books of Natural Science and the Human Body with illustrations for my library at home. I emphatically pointed out to my younger siblings that under no circumstance they should look at them. Later when talking to their own incredulous kids they told the story of how they learned about conception and birth. Even my parents after having six kids were ignorant of the miracle and development of life in the human body till the saw the illustrations of those books. It's tough being the older child in the family back in the 50s and 60s in the Generalissimo Franco's Catholic Spain.
