Summary of His First Flight Class 10 First Flight

Answer

The young seagull was alone on his ledge. His two brothers and his sister had already learned the art of flying only the day before. He did try. He had taken a little run forward and tried to flap his wings. But that was all he could do. He became afraid. He felt that his wings would not support him. So he bent his head and ran away back to the little hole where he slept at night. His brothers and his sister had wings far shorter than his own wings. But he failed to muster up the courage and fly. His parents taunted, scolded and threatened him to leave him starving at the ledge unless he flew away. But nothing could make him fly.

The seagull helplessly watched his parents flying with his brothers and sister. They were Perfecting them in the art of flying. They were teaching them how to skim the waves and how to dive for fish. The whole family went on taunting him for his cowardice.

Only his mother was looking at him. She had picked a piece of fish. She was flying across to him with it. He leaned out eagerly. The mother was very near to him with the fish in her beak. Maddened by hunger, he dived at the fish. With a loud scream, he fell outwards and downwards into space. A terror seized him. His heart stood still. His mother swooped past him. He answered her with another scream. He saw his two brothers and sister flying around him.

The seagull completely forgot that he was not able to fly. He let himself free to dive, soar and curve at will. He was shrieking shrilly. He saw a green sea beneath him. His parents, his brothers, and sister were beckoning to him calling shrilly. He was tired and weak with hunger. His feet sank into the green sea and his belly touched it. He sank no farther. His family was praising him and their beaks were offering him scraps of fish. He had made his first flight.

यह एक शिशु सीगल पक्षी की काल्पनिक कहानी है । यह समय आ गया था जब उसे अवश्य ही उड़ना सीखना था । उसके दो भाइयों एवं छोटी –सी बहन ने अपने माता-पिता की नकल करके उड़ना सीख लिया था । वे केवल शिखाफलक के किनारे तक पहुँचे थे , अपने पंख फड़फड़ाए और उड गए थे । मगर जब बच्चा सीगल पक्षी किनारे तक आया एवं हवा में उड़ने का प्रयास किया,वह डर गया । उसे विश्वास था कि अगर उसने उड़ने का प्रयत्न किया तो वह नीचे सागर में गिर जाएगा । इसलिए वह भाग कर शिखाफलक पर अपने छिद्र में चला गया ।

सीगल पक्षी के माता-पिता उसे अपने साथ लेने आए। मगर उसने उड़ने से इंकार कर दिया। उन्होंने धमकी दी कि वह शिखाफलक पर भूखा मर जाएगा । मगर पक्षी इतना भयभीत था कि यह उड़ा नहीं । चौबीस घटे बीत गए । सीगल पक्षी ने कुछ नहीं खाया था । उसे बहूत भूख लगनी आरंभ हो गई । उसने अपनी माँ को एक पठार पर बैठे देखा । वह एक मछली खा रहीँ थी । इस द्रश्य ने केवल उसकी भूख को और बढ़ा दिया । उसने अपनी माँ से उसके लिए कुछ भोजन लाने की प्रार्थना की । माँ ने उसकी ओर निंदात्मक तरीके से देखा । मगर तब उसने मछली का एक टुकड़ा उठाया एबं उसकी तरफ उड़कर आई ।

माँ उस तक नहीं आई । उसने अपने पंख रोक दिए एवं गतिहीन बन गई । सीगलपक्षी को हैरानी हुई कि वह उसके पास क्यों नहीं आ रही थी । वह और अधिक सहन नहीं कर सका । यह भूख से पागल हो गया । उसने मछली पर छलाँग लगाई । वह अपनी माँ तक नहीं पहुंच सका, मगर यह शिखाफलक से नीचे हवा में गिर गया । वह भयभीत हो गया एवं चिल्लाया । मगर यह भय केवल एक मिनट तक रहा । उसने अपने पंख फैलाए एवं उड़ने का प्रयन्न किया । अचानक उसने देखा कि वह उड़ रहा था|

सीगल ने सोचा था कि यह एक हरा फर्श है । उसने ही समुद्र पर खडे होने के लिए अपनी टाँगे नीचे की । इसकी टाँगे इसमें डूब गई और वह डर के मारे चिल्लाया । परंतु उसके पेट ने पानी को छुआ और वह डूबा नहीं । उसने समुद्र में तैरना आरंभ कर दिया । उसके परिवार के सदस्यों ने उसकी प्रशंसा की और उसे मछली के टुकड़े खाने के लिए दिए । इस प्रकार सीगल ने अपनी पहली उड़ान भर ली थी ।
