The First Ostrich to Fly Erik Steidl

A young child has had a rough day at school. His grandmother takes him outside where they look at the stars. He asks his grandmother why he is different and can't do the things that all the other kids can. Instead of simply answering him, she tells him a story of when the world was young and ostriches could fly. They could, that is, until someone told them their wings were too small. Then they stopped trying to fly. Through his grandmother's story, the young child realizes that the only one who can limit his potential is him.
