The young seagull was alone on his ledge. His two brothers and his sister had

already flown away the day before. He had been afraid to fly with them. 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. Even when each of his brothers and his little sister, whose wings were far shorter

than his own, ran to the brink, flapped their wings, and flew away, he failed to muster up

courage to take that plunge which appeared to hi so desperate. His father and mother had

come around calling to him shrilly, upbraiding him, threatening to let him starve on his

ledge unless he flew away. But for the life of him he could not move.

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 flight, 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.​
