As you know, books are treasures of human knowledge.

So today I'm going to


introduce to you a book that has changed my perception
Do you know Luis Sepulveda He is a Chilean writter, who is known as
a fable-teller for all ages. Perhaps readers who have read his work will never
forget the image of the fat black cat zorba and his friends in The story of the
Seagull and the Cat who taught her to fly. It's easy to love someone like you
but to love someone different from you is very hard. Those are the words of a
big, fat black cat - Zorba said to Lucky, his seagull son, and maybe that is what
made us see in this world, it always contains paradoxes and unusual things
waiting for us to discover such as a cat can teach a seagull to fly. That's right,
you didn't get it wrong. It's flying. It sounds strange, but that has created
great human values and we will see it when reading The story of the Seagull
and the Cat who taught her to fly

The beginning of the story is the team of seagulls heading towards


the Biscay Bay to attend their convention, among them is a beautiful seagull
named Kengah with charming silver feathers, but just because of a little
carelessness, she was left behind by her friends. However, the danger did not
stop there. When she spread her wings to fly, she was caught in the oily layer
that was discharged into the sea. It seemed impossible to get out, but with a
certain determination, our seagull girl used all her strength to fly and fell onto
a balcony, where the cat Zorba was sunbathing. With the last bit of strength,
Kengah managed to give birth to an egg and made three promises that Zorba
must keep. The first is not to eat the egg. Second, he has to take care of the
egg until the baby bird is born. Finally, teaching it to fly. Three things seem
impossible with cats and even more impossible with a lazy cat like Zorba. But
with the honor of Humbug harbor cat, he began to fulfill his promise with
devotion and responsibility. Thanks to the help of his friends, Zorba has
delivered on all his promises.
What a kind-hearted cat, extremely noble. Not only finish at the
meaning in the plot, but the book also brings profound human values. The first
is a lesson in promise, after every request from Kengah, Zorba said: I promise
as an affirmation of his certainty and then. In addition, Kengah knew that she
was going to die, and with all her love and concern for her upcoming child,
Kengah flew away to seek help. Although her wings still have oil, even if it is
the weakest hope. This is a tearful detail engraved in the readers’ minds about
the noble beauty of motherhood, making us even more indignant at the current
state of environmental pollution.

“We protected you from the moment you pecked your egg, we took
care of you without even thinking about turning you into a cat, we love you like
a seagull”. It's easy to accept and love someone who is like you but to love
someone different from you is very hard and you have helped us to do that.
You are a seagull and you have to live the life of a seagull, you have to fly” –
Zorba said.

That statement made me realize that love does not only come from
people of the same race, but love is a gift born from the most beautiful things.
We are all different, even animals and nature gave us love with no limit to
make this world a better place The story of the Seagull and the Cat who taught
her to fly is a gentle and pure story. When folding the pages, it will make
people think about what the author wants to convey to the readers. On behalf
of millions of readers around the world, I would like to thank the writer Luis
Sepulveda for creating an outstanding work. Although he passed away, Zorba
with his friends will certainly continue to write the pages of a book for life,
imprinted with great human values.

And that is also my feelings and sharing with you about the book.
Thank you for your listening
