The Man and the Seagulls | 人与海鸥

点击查看中英对照

A man who lived by the sea loved seagulls dearly.

Every morning, he would go to the seaside to play with them. Over a hundred seagulls would fly to him, one after another.

His father said to him, "I hear the seagulls love playing with you. Catch some for me." The next day, when the man went to the seaside, the seagulls merely circled in the sky and would not land.
