Story 1: Can I Fly?

Mitch is driving to school with his mom when they get stuck in a long traffic jam

Mitch: Mom, why are we not moving?
Mom: It’s a traffic jam, Mitch. No one is moving.
Mitch: It is so boring.
Mom: Ya it is. Let’s listen to some music.

As their car gradually began to move, Mitch saw a few parrots flying in coordination

Mitch: Mom, look, 3 parrots flying together.
Mom: Ya, they are looking beautiful.
Mitch: Mom, what would happen if we were also able to fly?
Mom: Hahaha! We would have a great view from top.
Mitch: Yes, and we would not be stuck in a traffic jam like this one.
Mom: Yes, and we might well reach your school on time every morning.
Mitch: It would take only 2 mins to reach school, mom.
Mom: Yes exactly, and your football class as well.
Mitch: Would you fly with me, or I would fly alone?
Mom: Well, you are very young. So, at least for a few years, I would still fly with you.
Mitch: So, that means all children would come flying with their parents to school.
Mom: That would cause a traffic jam in the sky as well.
Mitch: Hahahaha! Yes, that would be fun. Looking at people hanging in the sky.
