Old Doctor Stork, the kind old bird,
Brings the new babies, I have heard;

KEINKA AND THE STORK
Krinka was a little Dutch girl, and lived in a queer - brown house by the side of a canal, where the Stork built her nest when the Spring came. Krinka loved the Stork and was sorry when the cold winds drove it away when the Summer was over.
"I wish you would come back, dear Stork," she would say when she woke each day, and then she would run to the window and peep out to see if the Stork was there.
One night she dreamed that she was a little bird with soft gray wings, and that she flew right up to the big blue clouds that looked like banks of snow. And Mother Stork popped her head out of the tallest one, and asked Krinka if she would like to stay with her and play with the fairies. But Krinka shook her head. "Mother would want me," she said, and the Stork laughed, and told her to fly away home. And Krinka woke up in her own little bed, and when she looked out of the window to see if the Stork was there she found the snow instead. Her mother smiled when she told her about her funny dream.
"I can't turn you into a bird, little one," she said as she kissed
her," but when you can skate you will fly nearly as fast." And she showed Krinka some bright new skates that where just small enough for her tiny feet.
And the next day Krinika's big sister and her brother Jan took her on the ice with them, and held her hands so safely that she could not fall. Krinka thought it was lovely, and was glad to be a little girl instead of a bird. And when the ice melted the Stork came back.

| Victorian Stork |
Once a pair of storks took up their abode on the roof of a schoolhouse in Germany. One day the teacher found one of the birds lying exhausted on the ground before his door.
Now in that country it is considered a piece of good luck to have a stork's nest on the house, and therefore the teacher picked up the bird, took it into his dwelling, and nursed it carefully. When it was getting well, he took it out of doors and carried it to the field near his house, where it was fed by its mate.
At length the stork was cured and able to return to its nest, but every evening while it remained, it flew down from the roof, and gravely walked by the side of its friend from the schoolhouse to the meadows.
This attracted attention, and often the two friends were accompanied by a group of wondering village children. Henry Altemus Company.
