Part One Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Jonathan Livingstone was no ordinary seagull. By now you must have understood seagull means sea bird. When the rest of his flock were roaming around here in search of food, Jonathan was trying to fly. The remaining seagulls used to fly only because they had to find their food but Jonathan had to fly over and over. He wanted to see how far his wings could take him. He would often go far away from the shore and stay in his practice. And that was the reason that he always used to be isolated from others. Missing Jonathan in his thoughts, he only dreamed of flying far.
One day his mother asked "John, why are you not like the rest? You don't eat anything, just look at yourself. You have become a bone and feather structure!" Jonathan said "Mom, I have someone No matter how weak I am. I just want to know what I can do in the air and what not. "His father said to him" Winter season is just about to come. Now the boats will look less and the fish too You will go inside the water a lot. Don't forget that you only fly to eat. "Jonathan listened to his parents and did what the rest of the seagulls did for a few days, in the bridge over the water and the fishing boats. Used to enter, fight with other seagulls to eat. But somewhere inside, he felt that he was not born to do all this. He is just wasting his time here. Jonathan is far away in the sea He flew. He was not as fatty as the rest of the seagulls but he was very happy and excited that he could fly so far. He now knew his speed.
Jonathan was flying 1000 feet up in the air, he took a deep dive. His speed was at 70 miles. Jonathan Livingstone was probably the first seagull that could fly at such a high speed. But there came a point when his control started dropping on the wings but he was trying again and again. He blew up to a thousand feet and then he took a dive. There was just one lapse, the angle of his wings turned a little wrong and he went straight into the sea. And when his eyes opened, he found himself floating on the ocean, the moon was illuminated by the moonlight. Jonathan was severely fatigued and his wings had become too heavy. A voice came from his heart. "There is no way to escape far and wide. I am a seagull, if I was born to fly, then I too would have small wings like Falcon. My father is right, I should not be fooled. Jonathan somehow reached back to the shore, he saw darkness spread everywhere. "Sit down! A voice came from inside him, "Seagulls don't fly in the dark!"
If you were made to fly in the dark, you would have eyes like an owl and short wings like a Falcon ”. That's when Jonathan Livingstone gets a Eureka moment. And then all his pain and sadness disappeared. "Short wings! Short wings like a falcon!" He told himself, "I can fold my half wings and fly on the tips of my feeders." In this way my speed will also increase. Jonathan flaps his wings once again. He went flying in the air for 2000 feet, he knew that this thing is Dangerous but it was Deuterine. Jonathan clung to his forewings body and was only flying on the tips of his wings. Then that Brave Seagull took a vertical dive. He was coming down with great speed, first at 70 miles, then 90 and then at 120 miles. Even Jonathan went to 140.
And when he was flying over the sea, he moved his wings with great care and then everything was in his control. When Jonathan was flying smooth over the water, he thought, "140! If I fly at a height of 5000 feet, how fast will I be able to dive? ”He was just about to quit that he remembered that he was not an ordinarie, he was made to do something special. Jonathan's practice continued, he had confidence in himself and he felt for the first time in life that he could control his flight. From 5000 feet his house looked like a tiny nest, he once again folded his wings and took a dive. And then an amazing thing happened. His speed was at 240 miles. No seagull was blown at this speed till today. Not even from his own flock. If he had spread his wings, he would have fallen down. But he had learned to move his wingstips lightly.
Jonathan was eating acrobatics beautifully in the air. He took a loop, then slow-rolled and then pinwheel, named all the moves he made. Speed was power, speed was fun, overall speed was a very beautiful thing in itself. And Jonathan's herd will definitely feel proud. He kept flying even after sunset. When that house reached, the stars were shining in disharmony. Today Jonathan was very tired but he was very happy. He had the same old flock, but Jonathan had changed, because he had discovered that there is more to his life than flying scraps over fishing boats. If Jonathan had just walked, he would have shouted with zoro. "Life is not meaningless, we can set ourselves a goal by taking ourselves out of ignorance." We can achieve intelligence and excellence in our life and can learn new skills. We are free! We can learn to fly! "
And Findlo started to have his forged feet on the shore. He saw a council meeting was going on there. The old men of the herd and the rest were waiting for it. "Jonathan Livingstone! Come here and stand in the middle! Shouted an old man. When a seagull is asked to stand in the center, it means either Great Honor or Great Shame. Don't know that the elder people of the herd have seen this feat of him today. What do they know that he should now be the leader of the herd. But Jonathan did not want any high position, all he had to do was share what he had learned today with his seekers. He wanted his herd to see all that he saw today. Jonathan came forward slowly
"Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, A Big Seagull Declares" Stand in the Center for Shame! " Jonathan could not believe his ears. He was being called not for honors at the center but for Shem. "I want to stand for Shame at the center? Impossible!" And what about my breakthrough? it is not possible." Jonathan thought in his heart. But he heard the voice of that Elder again "for this reckless irresponsibility ... to break the Gul family's degeneracy and tradition .." "For Shem to stand in the center meant he was being fired from the floc. Hai, he was being cast out. Now Jonathan has to be alone, somewhere far away where he cannot meet any other seagulls. "... one day Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, you will know what is the result of irresponsibility, no one knows what will happen in life but we should know that as long as we know we have to eat and stay alive.
"Irresponsibility? My brothers!" Jonathan requested. For thousands of years, we have been eating fish heads but now we have got the reason to learn and learn about life! Give me a chance. Let me tell you what Jonathan said, but nobody listened to him. The elders of the flock finished the meeting ignoring him. The other seagulls also left. Jonathan looked up at the sky and flew away. He Went to Cliffus. But he took advantage of his loneliness, he had a lot to learn. Jonathan had learned to sleep in the air, now he could fly even in the dark. And he also learned a big important thing that he had Could be useful. He saw that if he dives inside the ocean at high speed, he can catch fish even 10 feet below the surface.
Now there was no need to go round the fishing boats. Jonathan had no regrets on his decision. He understood that our anger, boredom and fear make life short. He could dream of a long happy life for himself, leaving behind all the negative feelings. One night as usual, peace came when something came from the sky, two bright seagulls fell from the clouds, Jonathan saw the graceful flip of his wings. Every movement of his feed could be counted. The way the two seagulls flew was just like Jonathan, but a little better than that .. "Who are you? He asked "We have come from your flock, Jonathan. We are your brothers. We have come to take you to the very top, your house. Both Shining Seagulls responded calmly. "I don't have a house I am an outcast, is there a place higher than the great mountain wind? " "Jonathan, when a school is finished we have to find a new one," they both said. Now Jonathan understood everything. He looked up at the sky who had taught him so much. He took a deep breath in the cold air and said "Yes, I am ready" and then the three disappeared somewhere in Badalo.
