Lesson : His First Flight

Author : Liam O'Flaherty

Theme : Overcoming Fear

         The young seagull looked down the vast expanse of sea. He was hungry. His parents had left him alone on the rock without food. They could fly; and he could not. He had tried several times. He was afraid that his wings would not support him to fly. His parents had tried many ways to make him fly. He felt that he was starving to death. His mother was tearing a piece of fish with her beak. The sight of food maddened him. He cried but she just screamed back mockingly. Suddenly, he felt the joy, seeing his mother approaching him with food. But she kept the fish just out of his reach. Maddened by hunger, he dived at the fish. But his mother flew upward and he started falling. He was frightened but the next moment he realized that he was flying. He had made his first flight.
