Answer:The young seagull lacked the courage due to the seed of fear that was grown in his mind. He even tried to stand at the brink and make an attempt but failed. He felt that if he would flap the wings in the blue sky he would end up being a food of an ocean habitat. These fears of failure and lack of courage took him lot of time to rule the sky with his wings.
