A large mountain where an eagle's nest rested.
The nest contained four eggs. One day an earthquake caused one of the eggs to tumble
down the mountain to a chicken farm, located in the valley below.
The chickens cared for the eggs as if it were one of their own. One day the egg hatched
and a beautiful eagle was born.
But the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more
than a chicken.
While playing a game on the farm with some of his chicken friends one
day, the eagle looked up and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies.
"Wow," said the eagle, "I wish I could soar like those birds." The chickens all laughed at him. "You cannot soar with those birds. You
are a chicken and chickens do not fly."
The eagle kept looking up at his real family, dreaming that he could be with them.
Each time the eagle let his dream be known, he was told it couldn't be done.
The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live his
life like a chicken.
Finally, after a long life, the eagle died...as a chicken.
What's the moral of the story? If you listen to the chickens around you, you'll live and
die like them - a chicken.
Inside you is that eagle.
