Imagine a white bird losing a couple feathers as it is learning to fly. You learn a lesson as you watch it doing so, maybe you learn that “nothing comes for free” or that “one has to be prepared to lose in order to gain”…
Notes
[HSK 1] - Another story might be - This bird has only one wing because he is still young and has a lot to learn.
Examples
- I want to learn Chinese because my wife is Chinese
