This story uses words from '1000 most common words in English'. The morning comes quickly because Lemon has slept like a rock. He wakes up remembering his dream: an effortless glide through golden gates guided by angles and eagles. “Mum, dad, I need to talk to you,” says Lemon. “I’m leaving… I’m going to go find this paradise. I need to see it for myself. I want to feel the soil between my toes and taste the unknown insects.” His parents are quiet for a moment. They see in his eyes that this is very important, and they only want what is best for their child. His mother speaks first. “You are a sweet child, little Lemon. You have a wonderful mind, brave and curious. You know you’re always welcome here. Our nest is always open.” “Mum, of course I’m coming back! I love you two so much and this is my home.” Lemon’s father says, “It has been said that there comes a point in a bird’s life when he needs to go beyond the mountains… It happened to my father and my father’s father, but never for me. That time never came. I grew up during the worst winter in known history. I had to work and sacrifice—there was no time for adventures… so, go on, Lemon. Get out there and live your life!” “You are the best parents a bird could ever wish for!” And with those words, the family hugs, a long hug which, even though freezing winds rip past them, seems to warm them to their very bones.
