Jonathan Livingston Seagull
'“See here, Jonathan,” said his father, not unkindly. “Winter isn’t far away.
Boats will be few, and the surface fish will be swimming deep. If you must
study, then study food, and how to get it. This flying business is all very well,
but you can’t eat a glide, you know. Don’t you forget that the reason you fly is to
eat.”
Jonathan nodded obediently. For the next few days he tried to behave like
the other gulls; he really tried, screeching and fighting with the flock around the
piers and fishing boats, diving on scraps of fish and bread. But he couldn’t make
it work.
It’s all so pointless, he thought, deliberately dropping a hard-won anchovy
to a hungry old gull chasing him. I could be spending all this time learning to fly.
There’s so much to learn!
...and for my pleasure
