- 7. The young seagull is paralysed by the fear that his wings will not hold him in the air, so he refuses to fly even when his parents, brothers and sister all soar around him. Left alone and hungry on the ledge, he watches the others eat and grows desperate. His family tries coaxing and even threatens to let him starve, but it is hunger that finally overcomes his fear: when his mother flies close with a piece of fish, the starving seagull, forgetting everything else, dives off the ledge to seize it. In that moment his wings spread and he finds himself flying. His fall becomes flight, and soon he is gliding over the sea joyfully. The story shows that necessity can push us past our fears and reveal abilities we did not know we had.
