Seagulls by Lie Zi
A young man who lived by the sea loved seagulls. Every morning at daybreak he would go to the seaside and play with the gulls. Hundreds of gulls would come to him and not fly away.
His father said, ‘I heard that seagulls like to play with you. Catch a few for me so that I can play with them too.’ The next morning when the father went to the seaside the seagulls swooped about in the skies but none came down to him.
The message of this parable is that one may try, but unable to, hide one’s inner thoughts. Even birds and animals can sense one’s true feelings.
