Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseñó a volar
Short Summary
Her wings burdened by an oil slick, a seagull struggles to the nearest port to lay her final egg. Exhausted, she lands on a balcony where Zorba the cat is sunning himself. She extracts three extraordinary promises from him: that he will watch over the egg; that he will not eat the egg; and that, when it's time, he will teach the baby gull to fly. The first two promises are hard enough, but the third one is surely impossible. Isn't it?

Una gaviota, cubierta de petróleo debido a un derrame, trata de llegar al puerto más cercano para poner su último huevo. Exhausta, llega al balcón de Zorba, un gato que está tumbado tomando el sol. La gaviota logra que el gato le prometa tres cosas: que va a cuidar el huevo; que no se lo va a comer y, que cuando nazca el polluelo, lo enseñará a volar. Las dos primeras promesas son bien difíciles, pero la tercera es imposible de cumplir, ¿o no?
