📖 Your Story

You are a wildlife researcher stationed at a coastal bird sanctuary near the cliffs of Goa. Your mission is to observe a young seagull that has been left alone on a ledge while its siblings have already taken flight. Document its fear, its family's reactions, and the growing hunger that may change everything.

What You'll Learn

  • Identify the reasons behind the young seagull's fear of flying as described in the text.
  • Analyse the role of family — parents' threats, siblings' success — in motivating or pressuring the seagull.
  • Understand how physical need (hunger) becomes a powerful psychological motivator.

How to Play

1Read each observation scenario carefully, referring to the passage from 'His First Flight'.
2Answer the multiple-choice questions based on textual evidence and inference.
3Use hints if you're stuck — each hint reveals a little more about the text.
4Complete all missions to finish your field report on the young seagull's behaviour.
