The day before, all day long, he had watched his parents flying about with his brothers and sister, perfecting S them in the art of flight, teaching them how t to skim the waves and how to dive for fish.

The sun was now ascending the sky, blazing on his ledge that faced the south. He felt the heat because he had not eaten since the previous nightfall.
