 When God created the world it is composed of three elements: land, sky and ocean. But he thought that without any live creatures world is quiet boring. So he created some animals and put them to the land. He gave freedom so they can do whatever they want. Two of these creatures were Frank and Brad. As the other animals they liked to run and play at green fields. One day they found a rock near the ocean coast. The rock was very high. Brad was very brave and risky and he offered to jump from this rock to the water. He wanted to feel how  it is  to run not on the land but in the air. Frank didn't like this idea but he didn't want to stay alone at the top of this rock and jump this his friend. They ran up and jump from this rock. While falling down they feel how wind flow carry them and don't allow them to fall very fast. The sound of wind was very loud and waves  broke down the bottom rock. Frank and Brad didn't hurt because dove into the water. They dove very deeply and under the water the atmosphere was very different unlike of the sky. It was quiet and they moved very slowly because of the water around them. Under the water there was a lot of blue color like in the sky. But it was darker and more mysterious. Both friends liked this experience. Brad liked the falling itself. He wanted his falling down to be  longer so he waved his hands very fast trying not to fall very quickly. And Frank wanted to fall down very fast to go under water more deeply. So they started to jump from this rock everyday. After some time their bodies have changed. Brad's paws transformed to winds and Frank's paws became fins. These were the first bird and the first fish.
