I am warm. I do not want to leave my shelter, but I know I have to. Mother kept me clost to her at all times. Now it is time to make my own way. I streach my wings and legs, suddenly my shelter is too small for me. A little more pushing and I will be face to face with the outside world. I know if I remain in my shelter I will be safe. In the back of mind I know not for much longer though. I am afraid to face the world, I can hear all the sounds around me and they are frightening. Mother has gone to get dinner for my birthday party. I'm not ready I desided. What if the world isn't ready for me. What if it doesn't like me. It might devower me, just gobbel me up. I try to be as small as I can but my body wants out, even if my brain has a different idea. My heart beats so loud I am sure others outside can hear it. I heard the first couple of cracks and I shut my eyes tight against the world. If I can't see it then it's not there right? Cold, so cold, then warm. Strange, who would have thought. Slowly, very slowly I open one eye and what I see takes my breath away.
