My mother got back and fed me. After I ate, she looked at me and said, “you're old enough now, and it is time for you to fly.”

I told her I felt bad. She said that she could wait until the next morning. But then I would have to go. I stayed close to her in the nest and tried to go to sleep.

When the sun came up the next day, I tried to look small. I knew that birds should fly away and leave the nest, but that didn't mean I could do it.

Then something happened. I fell out of the nest! I put my wings out and I was able to fly! I shouted as loudly as I could. They worked! They were strong enough to fly after all! They were wonderful. My mother flew back to the nest and watched me fly and shouted happily.

The tiles get energy made by the kids and turn it into electricity that can be used for classroom lights, science projects. The first US installation（安装）of eight tiles near the school’s student center thanks to 14-year-old Zach Halem, who tried to ask the officials to buy them.

Besides providing fun green energy, the tiles also serve as a learning tool. Every time a student walks on one, a screen will show how much energy was generated（产生）. It makes kid feel proud because of saving energy.

Made largely from rubber and other recycled materials, the tiles that have been around since 2009, are the idea of 26-year-old British Industrial designer Laurence Kembell Cook. While new to the US, they have been installed in many places in Europe－from a London underground station during the 2012 Olympic to a street in Paris.

However, it was not until PaveGen started getting popular in London schools that Laurence realized that his invention not only saved energy, but was also fun!
