The Sea Gull aand the Hawk A seagull, who was more at home/swimming on the sea/than walking on land, liked to catch live fish for its food.One day the gull pounced upon a fish, and he tried to swallow it, he choked, burst a gullet and lay down on the shore to die.A hawk, who was passing by and saw him, thought he was a land bird like himself.Consequently, he offered him no other comfort than, “It serves you right!What business is itof birds of the air/to seek food from the sea?”
