Brad came from a community of expert flying bats and his family in particular were widely recognized in their community. Unfortunately for Brad the good genes of flying were not passed on to him. He was already old enough to be able to fly, but he wasn't able to do so no matter how hard he tried. He practiced and practiced but still no results of improvement. He was the laughing stock of everyone including his very own siblings and he just felt embarrassed.
One afternoon his brothers' were racing and proving each others' flying abilities, so Brad decided to jump from the highest branch of the tree where they lived and flapped and tried gliding but nothing occurred. He continued to fall even more rapid than before! When all of a sudden when he should have been dead or completely paralyzed due to the impact, he was gliding in the wind! Before he knew it he was so proud of himself and was able to control his wings. He was so happy to finally be able to fly, he learned that patience is valuable and not being able to fly made him humble, instead of being arrogant like his brothers.
