Eagles and Chickens
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Once upon a time, on top of a faraway mountain, there live Eagles. They fly freely and soar above storms. 1 day, a yet to hatch Eagle egg fell off it’s nest and landed into a chicken’s nest in the valley. The egg then hatched into a small eagle. Because the eagle grew up with chickens, he always thought he was a chicken. The chickens were taught to eat worms and runaway from snake, the young eagle followed. After many years has passed, the eagle has already became a “chicken” but he couldn’t help but to wonder why there are birds living on top of mountain and can fly freely. So 1 day, he asked a chicken fren. “Hey, wanna try flying like the eagles?”
Then the fren replied “Although u may look like an eagle… but we are juz chickens….. and chickens can’t fly…. we feed on worms….”
The young eagle got very upset and he wondered if he will ever be able to fly in his life time. After much considerations, he decided to give it a shot, so on a cool evening, he climbed up to the side of a tall mountain and try to fly. Because he havent been flying all his life, the eagle is unable to control his wings properly and kept falling off the side of the mountain. With wounded wings, he returned to the chickens and the chickens laughed at him. He hasnt give up yet, and he ask his chicken fren again. “Hey, why can’t we fly freely like the eagles?”
Then the fren replied “We are chickens…. we are scared of snakes and we eat watever that’s left on the ground.. remember?”
The young eagle got more upset, but he is still unwilling to give up. He then climbed the mountain again after his wounds are healed and after much attempt, he finally succeeded to fly. He met up with some of his Eagle frens and they together soar above the chickens and they feed on snakes.
