Storks are large migra-
tory birds between 3-5 feet (1-
1.5 meters) tall with big, white wings.
Their red beaks and legs make them look
cute. Every year, storks migrate in large num-
bers because they can't live in cold regions.
Storks thus tell us that the hot days of summer are
coming, and it is a miracle they know when the
weather is about to warm up. The following year,
when spring has come round again, storks return
on their miles-long journey and find their old
nests. Of course it is Allah Who inspires
such a good memory and sense
of direction in them.
