Eagles are members of the bird family. More than 60
kinds live in Africa. Once there was a baby eagle living in a nest on a cliff(悬崖). The baby eagle loved his nest. It was warm, soft
and comfortable. And even better, he had all the food and love that his mother
could give. Whenever the baby eagle was hungry, his mother would always come
just in time with delicious food he liked.
He was growing happily day after day. But suddenly his
world changed. His mother stopped coming to the nest. He was full of sadness
and fear. He thought he would die soon. He cried, but nobody heard him.
Two days later his mother came with some nice food.
The baby eagle was wild with joy. But his mother put the food at the top of the
mountain and then looked down at her baby. The baby eagle cried out, “Mom, why
did you do this to me? I’m hungry. Don’t you know I will die if I have nothing
to eat?”
“Here is the last meal I give you. Come and get it by
yourself.” his mother said. Then she flew down and pushed the baby out of the
nest.
The baby eagle fell down, faster and faster. He looked
up at his mom, “Why do you abandon me?” He looked down at the earth. The
ground was much closer. Then something strange happened. The air caught behind
his arms and he began to fly! He wasn’t moving to the ground any more. Instead,
his eyes were pointed up at the sun. “You are flying! You can make it!” His
mother smiled.
