I’ll (Never) Learn to Fly

Everyone feels lost sometimes. At times, the obstacles in front of us seem like insurmountable mountains, and we cannot see any way out. So we give up before even trying.

That is exactly how the protagonist of this story feels: a little robin who has no intention of leaving his nest. He is certain he will never learn to fly, so he believes there is no point in trying. He is convinced that his wings are not strong enough and that his friends will laugh at him when he falls.

But his flying teacher reveals a secret to him  in fact, two secrets: you can never learn anything if you are afraid of making mistakes, and above all, sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective to turn failure into a wonderful adventure.

A story to be read in two directions, because sometimes all you need is to look at things from a different point of view.
