Stork (article)

Hi

For my first post I'd like to ask the following question please.

My friend reports to me that on the way to school he saw a stork (bird). I would like to ask him:

'Where you did see stork?'
'Where you did see stork?'
'Where you did see stork?'

Is any of the above incorrect for the grammar and context of the situation I described?
I see:
. . . a stork -> some stork . . . maybe I can't believe there was a stork to be seen?
. . . the stork -> the stork that he mentioned
. . . that stork -> same as the, the one just mentioned

If a native speaker says any of the three above, would it be correct naturally?

Thank you very much in advance.

All three versions -- a stork, the stork, and that stork -- are possible. You seem to understand the meaning of "that" and the articles "a" and "the".

A native speaker could use any of those phrases. "The stork" is probably more likely than "a stork" or "that stork" in that question, but the others are certainly possible.
