His parents and his brothers and sister had landed on this green flooring ahead of
him. They were backoning to him, calling shrilly. He dropped his legs to stand on the
green sea. His legs sank into it. He screamed with fright and attempted to rise again
flapping his wings. But he was tired and weak with hunger and he could not rise,
exhausted by the strange exercise. His feet sank into the green sea, and then his belly
touched it and he sank no farther. He was floating on it, and around him his family was
screaming, praising him and their beaks were offering him scraps of dog-fish.
a) Where did the young seagull land?
b) Why did he scream?
