The surreal story of the egg that wanted to fly.The egg has always dreamed of being able to fly, but it doesn’t really know much about making the dream a reality. The only method that seems guaranteed to work is to get to a very high place and then…jump! Now, that may not sound like a good thing for an egg to do, but then the egg is young and doesn’t know very much.
