When did young seagull get over …

When the young seagull was all alone on the ledge, he was very unhappy there. Young seagull was afraid of heights and did not want to fly. He did not have the confidence to be in the heights of the sky. He even thought that his wings would not support him at all. His brothers, sisters and parents encouraged him to fly. They played many tricks on him. Sometimes they flew away from the ledge and left him alone. He came out and tried to flap his wings, but his fear seized him and again he went inside. His parents threatened him to die of hunger and did not feed him for a few days. Even then he could not gather the courage for flying. But this trick worked and he tried to make his first attempt. Soon he started flying. He was very happy. He was screaming with joy. He was feeling it as a victory over his fear. Now he did not want to remember about his past. He wanted to enjoy heartily, his first flight. He joined his family and landed on the sea water. Thus, he got over his fear of flying.

The young seagull was very hungry after being stuck on his ledge for a whole day, without food. He was frightened of the possibility of not being able to fly, and to plunge into the sea. Finally, when his mother came towards him with a piece of fish in her beak, he was consumed with joy. However, his mother halted when she was just opposite to him. Maddened by hunger, the young seagull dived at the fish, and, with a loud scream, fell outwards and downwards into space. In this moment of terror, after a minute, the seagull felt his wings spread outwards. Now, he was soaring gradually downwards. It was in this moment that the seagull got over his fear of flying over the sea.
