The young seagull was afraid to fly. When he tried to flap his wings to fly, fear caught him. I think all birds are afraid to fly for the first time.
Q1) Why was the young seagull afraid to fly? Do you think all young birds are afraid to make their first flight, or are some birds more timid than others? Do you think a human baby also finds it a challenge to take its first steps?
ANSWER : The young seagull was afraid to fly because it was its first flight. As we all know that the first attempt for any work is always challenging. Therefore, all young birds may feel afraid to make their first flights. Similarly, a human baby would also find it a challenge to take its first step.
Q2) “The sight of the food maddened him.” What does this suggest? What compelled the young seagull to finally fly?
ANSWER : The young seagull was very hungry because of this hunger she was able to finally fly. When the Seagull saw her mother tearing at a piece of fish she cried to her to get her some food as well. When her mother came forward with food in her beak, she screamed with joy. However, she stopped midway. Not being able to control her hunger she dived at the food in its mother’s beak. At that moment, her hunger overpowered the fear of flying.
Q3) “They were beckoning to him, calling shrilly. “Why did the seagull’s father and mother threaten him and cajole him to fly?
ANSWER : The young seagull had a fear of flying. But when she saw her brothers and sisters flying and their parents helping and guiding them, she was unable to gather enough strength to make the first flight. That is why her father and mother shrilly called and scolded her. They threatened to let her starve on the ledge if she did not fly. They did so because they wanted her to let go of her fear behind and learn to fly.
