Charlie’s Promise

Charlie told Lucky that it was time for her to learn how to fly.

“Why do I have to fly?” asked Lucky.

“You’re a gull.”

“Me? A gull?” Lucky was surprised. She thought she was a cat.

“Yes. You’re a gull. I’m a cat. Each is different. Each is good. I love and respect you even though we’re different.”

Lucky asked Charlie to teach her. “I will. I promised your mother.” Charlie said.

Lucky’s flying lessons began. She tried to fly many times, but she failed each time. One rainy night, Charlie and Lucky went to a tower.

“Lucky, all the sky is yours. Open your wings and fly.”

“I can’t.” Lucky cried out and pulled away from the edge. But Charlie encouraged the little gull. “You can if you really want!” Lucky went back into position and stepped into the air. She fell at first, but she gained control moments later. Her wings caught the wind, and she started to fly.

“Charlie, you’re right! I can fly!” Lucky said and flew away.

“Yes. You can,” Charlie said to the wide, empty sky.

Global consumer percentage per day

graph

The number of people living in extreme poverty has declined from 36 percent to 10 percent in 25 years. However, more than 700 million people still lack basic needs such as health care, education, and access to clean water.

It is estimated that living in Japan costs $40 a day, whereas 10 percent of the world’s population lives on less than $10 a day. Among them, those living on less than $1.90 a day are considered to be in extreme poverty.

Part E_9 Reading

   
The causes of poverty
As of 2020, around 10 percent of the world’s population lives in extreme poverty. Listed are its top causes.

1. Hunger

If people do not get enough nutrition, they will not have the energy to work. A lack of access to food can also lead to malnutrition and illnesses. What is worse, they may starve to death.

2. A lack of clean environment and poor healthcare systems

Dirty water causes a variety of diseases. Women and girls in rural communities must walk for 200 million hours every day to get water.

Malaria and diarrhea are not easily curable in countries with poor healthcare systems. Traveling far to clinics or paying for medicine can push a family into extreme poverty.

There are other causes, such as conflict, poor education, climate change, and so on.

Charlie’s Promise

One peaceful day, Charlie the cat was relaxing on a balcony near the port when suddenly, a gull landed near him. “Help me,” the poor gull cried out. “I’m covered with oil. I’ll soon be dead.”

“What can I do?”

“I’ve just laid an egg. Please promise to take care of it, feed my child, and teach it how to fly. Will you?”

Charlie agreed and promised, with the mother gull dying shortly after thanking the cat. Charlie found the egg under her body.

Although difficult, Charlie did not give up on keeping the egg warm every night. One morning after Charlie woke up, a small white head was looking in his direction and calls him “Mom”.

“I’m not your mom,” Charlie replied. “But you’re lucky. So that’s your name, Lucky.”

Charlie took care of Lucky and protected her from dirty, fat rats and mean cats that attacked her. In time, Lucky became a beautiful gull.
