That was twenty-four hours ago. Since then nobody had come near him. The day before,
all day long, he had watched his parents flying about with his brothers and sister, perfecting
them in the art of flying, teaching them how to skim the waves and how to dive for fish. He had,
in fact, seen his older brother catch his first herring and devour it, standing on a rock, while his
parents circled around raising a proud cackle. And all the morning the whole family had walked
about on the big plateau midway down the opposite cliff taunting him for his cowardice.
The sun was ascending the sky, blazing on his ledge that faced the south. He felt the heat
because he had not eaten since the previous nightfall.
He stepped slowly out to the brink of the ledge, and standing on one leg with the other leg
hidden under his wing, he closed one eye, then the other, and pretended to be falling asleep. Still
they took no notice of him. He saw his two brothers and his sister lying on the plateau dozing
with their heads sunk into their necks. His father was preening the feathers on his white back.
Only his mother was looking at him. She was standing on a little hump on the plateau, her white
breast thrust forward. Now and again, she tore at a piece of fish that lay at her feet and then
scrapped each side of her beak on the rock. The sight of the food maddened him. How he loved
to tear food that way, scrapping his beak now, and again to whet it.
