Héhé, funny those different cultural associations, the first thought that crossed my mind was La Fontaine's Le Renard et la Cigogne (http://environnement.ecoles.free.fr/Le%20renard%20et%20la%20cigogne.htm).
it's funny how in russian the fox is female, and the stork is male, as well as the corresponding nouns -- lissa (fox) - feminine gender, aist (stork) -- masculine gender.
That is quite amusing indeed, if not scarry, how such liguistic considerations can model our perception.
Man, the fox is awfully boyish and the stork is definitely feminine, you silly russianZ kozatchok (http://www.podillya.narod.ru/repertof.html) dancerZ ! Are you out of your mind !
(Though i admit one looking at a stork in a freudian manner can obviously see a big penis there)
cultural differences aside, you must have some loose screws in your head, if you find this feminine sister foxy boyish:
we have 'lis' (masculine gender) in some translated contes, but not in contes populaires. btw, in russian version of the tale there is a crane (zhuravl', also masculine gender), not a stork
speaking about kozatchok, can you lilly ass leather coach loafers do this:
