The Big Mountain

Little-Bird, a yellow canary, longs to fly but must first climb a mountain to achieve his dream. He lacks faith in himself and is easily intimidated. The sight of the big mountain is overwhelming. He insists he canâ??t climb up the mountain. He gives up without trying. His excuse: Itâ??s too big. Feelings of hopelessness ensue until he sees his dream flying away. His desire to fly outweighs his fears. I can do it! He insists. He tackles the challenge one step at a time, starting at the bottom, and slowly works his way up the mountain till he reaches the top where he faces a new fear when he looks down. The fear of falling terrifies him and causes him to lose faith. He cries out for help.
