A Bird without Legs
There was a story told long time ago by a wise man. It is a story about hardship and struggle unrivalled by its intensity. Truly a myth worth pondering.
So told there was this bird, *born without legs. It learned how to fly while falling from its nest up high. It was pushed down by its parents. From then on it keeps flying.
It cannot land for fear it cannot take off again. It has neither friends nor mate.
If it is sleepy, it will fly up high and sleep while falling from the sky and wakes up before hitting land. It has no choice but to keep flying to survive.
One day it will land. It is the day when the bird dies.
*note: born not hatched as was originally told.
