Trying to fly like birds

• Long long ago, when there were no airplanes
• yet, people tried to fly like birds. They made
• big wings and tied those big wings to their
• arms.
• Then they climbed up to a high place, jumped
• off, and beat their wings just as birds do.

Trying to fly like birds

• But their arms were not strong enough and they
  could not beat the wings
• hard enough to keep their bodies in the air.
• As a result, they crashed , or fell violently, to
  the ground.
• Some of them died some of them hurt
• themselves very badly.
