When I was looking into li, etymology of, I found a rock and a scorpion: something that’s a lot less dangerous if you know where it is, like the predator.

Sometimes this line seems to imply a young one of whom things are expected, and who needs to learn the terrain in a hurry - but sometimes the child is far too young and dependent for such expectations.

The wild geese advance by degrees to the shoreline
The little fledgling* is struggling
There will be criticism
But not blame
53.1x The little fledgling is having difficulties:
Deserving no blame
The wild geese cross the great water, returning from their migration, bringing their
latest fledgling. They approach with the same formation, the same steady bearing
and wingbeats they began their journey with. But now they need to rest their wings
in a place their youngster has not seen before. The young one is weak, and in an odd place, and he’s struggling to stay in formation. Strange noises assail him, echoing in the cliffs, the other birds, giving odd and discomforting glances, squawk doubtfully. It is known that a predator waits, since not all of the fledglings survive, or can prove their worth and grow old, but this youngster has never seen one. As small as he is, he would make a pretty good meal. Education will be a long and serious business, and it begins with the language and signals. Constructive critique might save his life.
