Study Notes

The Young Seagull's Fear of Flying

The young seagull was alone on his ledge, having not flown away with his two brothers and sister the day before.
He was afraid to fly, despite his siblings' successful flights.
When he tried to take off, he became frightened by the vast expanse of the sea below, feeling it was too far down (miles away) and doubted his wings' ability to support him.
He retreated to the safety of his sleeping hole under the ledge, even after witnessing his siblings, including his little sister with shorter wings, successfully fly away.
His parents had been present around the ledge, but their influence did not encourage the young seagull to take the leap.
