If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and and entirely open at the top, the bird in spite of his ability to fly will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is the buzzard always begins a flight from the grouud with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
The ordinary bat that lies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a levl place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly-until it comes to a slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
A bumblebee, if dropped in to an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will see a way where none exists until it destroys its self. In many ways there are alot of people like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there" ABOVE" them.
