“Pelican Watching”—Donna Getzinger
SUMMARY
One day the narrator’s father took him fishing with him. Both he and his father sat in the boat and started up the motor. The narrator saw the birds flying. He asked his father about them. They were pelicans, came the reply.
The narrator’s father added that the little pelican was a baby and the big one her father. She was angry as she wanted to sit with her father on his post. But the narrator told that he won’t let the little one sit as he kept him pushing the baby pelican.
When papa pelican dived for a fish, the baby pelican caught the post. The narrator told his father that the baby pelican had caught the post. But the father told that it wouldn’t be for long. Meanwhile papa pelican came with a fish in his mouth, pushed off the baby pelican and swallowed the fish. The narrator told that it was not fair. Papa pelican should share his post and food with the baby pelican. But the narrator’s father replied that he didn’t know.
The narrator’s father asked him to go on. But the narrator told him to remain there a little longer. The next time papa pelican dived for fish. He came with the fish and put it on another post. He flew back to his own post and knocked the baby pelican off. Seeing it the narrator’s father said that the papa pelican wanted her to go to the other post. Baby pelican flew around. Due to the smell of the fish she landed on the other post and swallowed the food.
Papa pelican dove again and brought a fish. He didn’t give it to the baby pelican who squawked again and again. At this the narrator yelled to the baby pelican to get her own fish as she could get one.
The fourth time papa pelican dived . Baby pelican copied him and both came out with fish in their mouths. Both ate their food and papa pelican kissed the baby pelican. Obviously, he had taught her how to fish. The narrator’s father said seeing this that he had got hungry. They decided to catch some big fish.
The narrator’s father put bait on a hook and gave it to the narrator. But the narrator didn’t take it. He told his father that he just wanted to catch fish with his own pole. The father was glad and hugged him. The narrator learnt to put worms on the bait and both fished side- by-side. The narrator was cheered by his father each time he caught the fish.
This way the father taught his child through a practical.
Have a class discussion on the great lesson that human beings can learn from Papa Pelican.
