Question

15 First Flight
1. Somehow when he had taken a little
run forward to the brink of the ledge and
attempted to flap his wings he became
afraid. The great expanse of sea stretched
down beneath, and it was such a long way
down-miles down. He felt certain that his
wings would never support him; so he bent
his head and ran away back to the little hole
under the ledge where he slept at night.
