The Fable of the Stork

You all know of the stork, yes? It is a fairly ordinary bird, looking much like a heron. The black feathers of the wings contrast sharply with the rest of the white, slender body, complete with a long beak and long legs. But the stork in this story is not like that at all, so you might as well thrust all of that information out of your head now. For the stork in this story is something profound, said to symbolize something from your world. I dare not venture a guess as to what - perhaps the reader will be more discerning than me. He who has ears, let him hear.
