Seagulls fly away

A 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 he went to the seaside the seagulls swooped about in the skies but none came down to him. He was wodering why the seagulls were not swooping down as they usualy did. He tried to woo them as best as he could because he wanted to please his father but to no avil. They came close to him but not in the usual way. He was perturbed as to why this was happening and just could not come to terms with what was happening":"Okay " he thought to himself that he would run up to the sage who lioved nearby and ask the reason for this sudden change of heart of the seagulls.

So the next thing he did was to go to the sage and the sage told him "Look one may try, but unable to, hide one's inner thoughts. Even birds and animals can sense one's true feelings. The seagulls knew that today you were going to capture them and take them away. They dared not come within close distance". He was satisfied with the answer and knew it must be true
