to his hole on the ledge.
The seagull’s parents came to take him along
with them. But he refused to fly. They threatened
that he would starve on the ledge. But the bird
was too afraid to move.
He saw his mother sitting on a plateau. She was
eating a fish. This sight only increased his
hunger. He requested his mother to bring him
some food. The mother looked at him derisively.
But then she picked up a piece of fish and flew
towards him.
He dived at fish. He could not reach his mother
but fell from the ledge downwards into space.
He was filled with fear and Cried. But this fear
lasted only a minute. He spread his wings and
tried to fly. Suddenly he found that he was
flying. He cried with joy and started flying
higher and higher. His parents, brothers and
sister flew around him and screamed with joy.
After some time, the seagull’s parents, brothers
and sister landed on the sea. They asked him to
come there. The seagull thought that it was green
flooring. He dropped his legs to stand on the
green sea. His legs sank into it and he cried with
fear. But his belly touched the water and he did
not drown. He began to float on the sea. His
family members praised him and gave him
pieces of fish to eat. Thus the seagull had made
his first flight.
