One day, a boy found an eagle's(鹰) egg. He didn't know what to do, so he put it in the nest of chickens. When the eagle was born, he ______. He grew up doing what chickens do, such as scratching at the dirt for food and flying short and low with his wings. It was a boring life.

Day after day, the eagle grew older. One day, he and his chicken friends saw a beautiful bird soaring in the sky, high above the mountains. “Oh, I wish I could fly like that!” said the eagle. The chickens answered, “Don't_give_it_another_thought. That's the strong eagle, and it's the king of all birds. You could never be like him because you are a chicken!” Then the eagle never thought about that again. He went on living like a chicken, digging the holes and feeling unhappy about the life. Even when he died, he thought he was a chicken.

My friends, you too were born an eagle. The God wanted you to be a real eagle, so don't listen to the chickens! Just keep your dream in the mind and try your best to fly in the sky.
