A boy found an eagle’s(鹰) egg and he put it in the nest of a chicken. Soon the egg broke open and the eagle out. He thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what chickens do—searching in the dirt for and flying short distances with a noisy waving of wings. It was a hard life. Little by little the eagle grew . One day he and his chicken friend . a beautiful bird flying in the air, high ( the mountains.
“Oh, I wish I could fly like that!” said the eagle. The chicken , “Don’t give it another thought. That’s the great eagle, the of all birds—you could never be like him!” And the eagle didn’t give it thought. He went on cackling(咯咯) and complaining(抱怨) about . Finally he died thinking he was a chicken.
My friends, you were born an eagle. The God expected you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the chickens!
