His First Flight
The story carries two different meanings inherant in it. Apparently, it may seem the story of a seagull who is afraid to fly but ultinately took his first flight and a winner is born out of him.
Metaphorically, the little seagull is the aspiration of our mind that tries to come out of it. It gets threatened, afraid, fear and sometimes discouraged but it always try to fly.
Once we fail to muster up the courage, we will never be able to achieve our aspiration. But then we have our near or dear ones to give us the encouragement, whi help us to stretch our wings, fly and reach our Destination.
Explanation:
"his first flight" is a story of a young seagull who has been afraid to fly.He runs to the end of the cliff but stops at the end as he sees the vast sea below him.He thinks that his wings would not be able to support him but his brother's and sister's wings are much smaller but they can still fly.His parents try to encourage him and also threaten him that if he won't fly,then there is no food for him.One day,he sees his mother eating a fish and scrapping her beak on a rock.The young seagull found it cool and he also wanted to do it.He stood on one of his legs and folded the other and close one eye,acting as if he was sleepy.His mother understood that he was hungry and she flew to him with the fish in her beak and she suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff.The young seagull was confused and as he was hungry,he ran towards his mother,who was still flying,but the seagull fell as he was really hungry and forgot his fears.He did not realize that he was falling for a minute and after that,he realized that he was not falling but he was gliding across the sea bed.His parents congratulated him.Since the seagull was hungry,it was tired and it wanted it to rest.It found a green sea bed and wanted to sit on it.He landed there but slipped and was now floating on the sea.This was the time the seagull had it's first flight.
