We found you in the cabbage, where the stork brought you - this is how adults explain to children where babies come from. However, without suspecting it themselves, adults speak the pure truth - they really find children in cabbage. The stork is directly related to this.
It often happens that children are asked "where did I come from?" answer that "you were found in the cabbage." Where the stork brought the child. Completely, this story with the appearance of children looks like this: a stork brings a child to a cabbage, where adults find him. Such a tale is used to answer a child's question without explaining the natural processes of conception and birth. And everyone seems to be fine, the child received an explanation, and the adult did not talk about some of the features of the interaction of the sexes, which it is too early for the child to know about.
The image of a child in a cabbage is so firmly imprinted on the mind that even monuments have been erected near maternity hospitals in Tomsk and Volgograd. And in Kemerovo, the sculpture is even colored, and near it they love to be photographed with newborns.
But the question arises - why the child is brought by a stork, and not another bird, and why in the cabbage?
As usual, there are many versions on the internet.
That the stork, they say, was a sacred bird among the ancient Germans, a symbol of divine blessing. And among the ancient Romans, this bird was attributed to the goddess of fertility Juno. In general, storks were sacred birds of many nationalities.
And it is not clear what has the Russians to do with, for whom the stork is not considered a divine bird? Oh, yes, we forget that according to official science, Russians were impenetrably stupid and could not come up with anything themselves. Only they took already prepared food from the surrounding peoples. So the stork, bringing the baby, was also dragged away from someone. Either the Germans, or the Romans, or someone else.
It is clear that such a delusional explanation can only exist in the heads of official science, from which critical thinking is completely knocked out by book knowledge.
Promotional video:
It is also written that storks bring spring and new life to the fields. That storks are a symbol of a married couple. And there is a lot of other things that clearly show the lack of knowledge of the reason why storks bring children. Only inconclusive versions.
With regard to cabbage, why are children found in it, the number of versions is even more and they are even funnier.
Found in the cabbage garden - the time of harvesting cabbage (late September or early October) and frequent childbirth, because 9 months before that, it was Christmas time, a time of fun, long winter nights and rest from the garden.
That is, children, according to this version, appeared en masse in the fall, while at other times of the year the birth rate fell. Which is not marked by historical evidence in any way. And long winter dark nights and rest from the garden happens not only on Christmastide, but also throughout the winter. Can you imagine? It comes out awkwardly.
According to another version:
That is, a complete contradiction to the previous explanation. Another close version:
Even so, but what does the child found in the cabbage have to do with it? If you found a wife in the cabbage? Then the husband should also be found in the cabbage. And why only in cabbage, autumn is the time of mass harvesting for the winter, not only white cabbage, but also other agricultural products. But somehow, there are no children found in cucumbers or tomatoes. Again, a fantasy that has nothing to do with reality.
There is also an assumption that:
This was clearly invented by some city dweller who saw the vegetable garden only in pictures. Cabbage does not grow for 9 months. Even late-ripening cabbage, the longest growing, ripens in six months. But the townspeople do not know this, so they compose all sorts of fables, without even thinking about what to plant cabbage so that it ripens for 9 months, it is necessary immediately after the new year - and this is impossible. Because it's winter and everything is frozen. There is also an additional version that this happened in warm Italy. Then find me a cabbage variety that ripens for 9 months in the warm Mediterranean, where they harvest 3 crops a year. And in general, what does Russia have to do with it if it happens in Italy? Oh yes, we are again missing the official scientific theory about the impenetrable stupidity of the Russians. Who took their beliefs as much from Italy - and this in the past, when they traveled on horses and camels at a very low speed. And the myth about cabbage spread from Italy all the way to Kamchatka.
Here's another pearl of research thought:
It was also composed by some person far from rural life. As usual, there are no peasants in the village. It is not even clear how the children appeared. All the work is done by women who constantly give birth anywhere from overstrain. Why didn't they give birth when harvesting potatoes, carrots, beets? The same hard work as harvesting cabbage. Where are the men? Fishing? When do you need to prepare food for the whole year? It’s the city’s food that grows in the store. And a country man who grows food carefully during the summer will not run away to sit with a fishing rod during the harvest. Because then he will die of hunger.
There is another suggestion that:
This story was invented by someone who did not see how cabbage grows in the garden, did not bathe in the village bath, did not take childbirth and did not wash diapers. Such a childless dreamer sits in a city apartment and writes about children in cabbage. And what is most surprising, people with practical experience in having children, living in the countryside and working in the garden believe this inventor.
And this is how the science of history is built, in which theorists, who have never swung a sword, describe ancient battles. The townspeople, who have never mounted a horse in their lives, publish treatises about the great nomadic conquerors. And all sorts of inventors, far from real rural life, compose stories about peasant life and the use of cabbage leaves as diapers. But the most amazing thing is that their fantasies get into textbooks and become official history! Which was simply composed out of the bulldozer and ignorance.
Of course, they also came up with all sorts of nonsense about the stork and cabbage. They have invented many versions, from religious and ritual to the type of practical, from the point of view of a city dweller who did not smell rural life at all.
In fact, everything is very simple. Children are indeed found in cabbage, it's true. And the stork also has a direct relationship to this.
As explained at the Institute of Russian Language Yasna, earlier parts of the human body had other, as it were, parallel names. We have already touched upon another system in the article "What is a SHAIKA-LEIKA?" In this system, parts of the body were referred to as containers for water, for example, the pelvis, kneecaps, feet.
However, there is another system of names for body parts - for fruits and vegetables. An echo remained in the word CAVIAR - this is how we name a part of the leg. But why is the CAVIAR on the leg? The fact is that earlier the calf muscles were also called EGGPLANT and ZABACHOK. From which the well-known caviar is made. Therefore, we have CAVIARS on our feet.
Which part of the body was called cabbage? You probably already guessed that this was the name of the stomach. Therefore, children are really found in cabbage, this is not a fairy tale to distract a child, it is true. If you know that cabbage is not only a vegetable in the garden, but also a part of the body.
So, dear viewers, all of you, and your children, were also found in cabbage. This is the true truth. You can safely tell this story, but with an explanation of the names of body parts by vegetables.
But what is a long-billed stork that brings children to cabbage, I suggest you think for yourself.
