eagle.jpg

a boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. the eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. he grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. it was a dreary life. gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. one day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.

"oh, i wish i could fly like that!" said the eagle. the chicken replied, "don't give it another thought. that's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" and the eagle didn't give it another thought. he went on cackling and complaining about life. he died thinking he was a prairie chicken. my friends, you too were born an eagle. the creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!
