Once upon a time there was a bird that could not fly. Like wingless creatures she walked on the earth, although she knew that some birds fly.
One day, an egg from a flying bird accidentally fell into her nest, and she hatched it with her own. The hatched chick began to grow and develop, but its inherent ability to fly did not manifest itself.
Sometimes he asked his adoptive mother: “When will I fly?” And the bird tied to the ground answered him: “To fly, you must be persistent in your endeavor, like all birds.”
She didn’t know how to teach a fledgling chick a lesson in flying, she didn’t even know how to push it out of the nest so that it could be convinced of its abilities.
But it is strange that the chick himself did not notice this. The feeling of gratitude to his adoptive mother did not allow him to understand his situation.
“If it weren’t for her,” he reasoned to himself, I would still remain in the egg.
And sometimes he said to himself like this:
—— The one to whom I owe my birth, of course, will teach me to fly. It's only a matter of time, or perhaps it all depends on my own efforts, or maybe for this I need to have some kind of higher wisdom - there are no other reasons. The bird that brought me to where I am today will one day take me to the next level.
