His First Flight
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 grew afraid. He felt certain that his wings would never support him, so he bent his head and ran back to the little hole under the ledge where he slept at night. His father and mother had come around calling to him shrilly, threatening to leave him to 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 sisters, perfecting them 'in the art of flight', teaching them how to skim the waves and how to dive for fish.
The sun was now 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. But his mother was looking at him.
Now and again she tore at a piece of fish that lay at her feet, and then scraped each side of her beak on the rock. The sight of food maddened him. He uttered a low cackle. His mother cackled too, and looked over at him. She had picked up a piece of the fish and was flying across to him with it. He leaned out eagerly, tapping the rock with his feet, trying to get nearer to her as she flew across. But when she was just opposite to him, abreast of his ledge, she halted, her legs hanging limp, her wings motionless, the piece of fish in her beak almost within his reach. He waited a moment in surprise wondering why she did not come nearer, and then maddened with hunger, he dived at the fish. With a loud scream he fell outwards and downwards into space.
The next moment he felt his wings spreading outwards. The wind rushed against his breast, then under his stomach, and against wings. He could feel the tips of his wings cutting through the air. He was not falling headlong now.' He was soaring gradually' downwards and outwards. He was no longer afraid. He felt just a bit dizzy. Then he flapped his wings once and he soared upwards. He uttered a joyous scream and flapped them again. He soared higher.
He completely forgot that he had not always been able to fly; he dived and soared, shrieking shrilly.
