Let`s Go Hugo

Hugo was a little bit different. He preferred walking to flying.

Instead of living on top of the trees, Hugo lived in a burrow down
at the bottom. Instead of building nests, Hugo built works of art.
Hugo was content living on the ground.
One day, Hugo was finishing his latest masterpiece when he
heard a voice. "Hey, I know that building," said a little bird.
"Really?" Hugo was overjoyed. "Yep," she said. "You can see it
from up here. It's the Eiffel Tower. We can fly there!" Oh, Hugo
realized, it was too far to walk.
"My name is Lulu," said the little bird. "Come on, I'll take you."
"I'm Hugo," he said, and then fell silent. Lulu tilted her head and
smiled. "Well, let's go, Hugo." "Um, I have to show you the park
before we go," Hugo said. Lulu thought that was a splendid idea.
Relieved, Hugo led the way. First, they ate popcorn. After they
finished eating, Lulu said, "Ready, let's go, Hugo!" "You can't fly
on a full stomach," Hugo replied. "We have to wait an hour." Lulu
agreed, and they played in the fountain instead.
After a little while, Lulu again said, "Let's go, Hugo!" But Hugo
replied, "We can't fly now, our feathers have to dry first." Lulu
agreed, and they watched a ballet instead. The show lasted into
the evening.
"It's getting late," said Lulu. "Are you ready to go?" Hugo again?
"Hugo replied, "We can't fly, it's dangerous for me to fly at night.
Let's go in the morning." Lulu yawned. She looked at Hugo at last
and said, "Okay, well, I should go home then. See you later."
Hugo's heart sank as his new friend flew away. He'd never see
the Eiffel Tower now, and what if he never saw Lulu again either?
He tried to run after her, but she was already high in the sky. It
was hopeless.
"What's the matter, little one?" It was the old owl, Bernard,
perched high up in a tree. It was late, and the owl was the only
one awake. Hugo was so tired that he blurted out without
thinking, "I'm afraid to fly."
Bernard paused and said, "Well, everyone is afraid of something.
I was afraid of the dark, but then I realized all the wonderful
things I was missing, like the moon and the stars. If you want, I'll
help you practice."
Hugo looked down at the ground, then up at the owl. It took all of
his courage, but at last, Hugo said, "Yes, please."
They practiced flying the rest of the night. There were many ups
and many more downs. When Hugo finally flew to the top of the
tree, the owl said, "Look at you go, Hugo! Good job! Tomorrow,
we'll practice more, but now, it's my bedtime."
As the sun came up, Hugo was still high in the tree. "Are you
ready?" asked Lulu, landing next to him. Hugo looked from Lulu
to the ground, far, far below. "Not really," he said, "I'm a little
scared."
Lulu smiled. "It'll be another adventure we can do together," she
said. "Except this time, instead of exploring the park, we'll explore
the sky! Oh!" Hugo hesitated. "I never thought of it like that."
Lulu stuck out her wing. Hugo took a tiny step away from the
tree, then another and another, until... "Let's go, Hugo!" said Lulu.
Hugo took a deep breath and grabbed on. Off they flew.
The Eiffel Tower was more beautiful than Hugo had ever
imagined, so beautiful he forgot to be afraid. When they got back
to the park, Hugo asked Lulu, "Where do you want to go next?"
Lulu tilted her head. "The sky's the limit," Hugo smiled and
stretched his wings out wide.
The end.
