Art or Short Story;;[xXx]ExtraKaryan's Flying Lessons:A small parra hops up to you, grinning cheerfully.
"Hi!" she chirps. "I'm gonna teach you how to fly today! I'm Kaywan-" she slaps a paw over her beak, looking horrified. "Sowwy. I can't say my w's- my wr's - my wrrl's-" she appears to be struggling, so you decide to help her. "Your r's?" She nods vigorously. "Thanks! Anyway, I'm Kaywan, and I want to be a teachew some day! So my mommy signed my up fow this teachiwg class fow little kids!" Kayran hops up and down a few times. "My task today is to teach you how to fly!" she blushes, barely visible under her fur. "I know it sounds kinda silly... but it's my duty!"
She gestures for you to follow her. A few minutes later, you reach a wooden takeoff ramp, used for parras just learning to use their wings. Kayran walks right up to it, and points a a spot next to her. "Stand wight hewe." she commands, and you obey. "Now, flying has a few steps. Fiwst, you need to open youw wings like this." she opens her wings, and waits for you to do the same. "Now, you gotta flap them." she begins to slowly flap her wings, chanting "up and down and up and down..." quietly.
Suddenly she shrieks "Step thwee is wun!" and charges off the end of the ramp. You startle and trip over your own feet, trying to follow Kayran. Your takeoff is less than perfect, but you make up by flying up and over in a somersault, and landing in front of an awestruck Kayran.
"Wow." she whispers. "That was amazing. I want to be like you when I gwow up." You grin and ruffle her mane. "You will." you tell the eager hatchling. "You will."
