Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle’s nest rested. The eagle’s nest contained four  36  eagle eggs. One day an earthquake rocked (使震动) the mountain  37  one of the eggs to roll down the mountain,  38  a chicken farm, which was in the valley below. The chickens knew that they must  39  and care for the eagle’s egg, so an old hen (母鸡)  40  to hatch (孵) and raise the large egg.

       One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born.  41 , however, the eagle was raised to be a(n)  42 . Soon, the eagle believed he was  43  more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, 44  his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to the skies above and  45  a group of eagles soaring in the skies. “Oh,” the eagle  46 , “I wish I could soar like those birds.” The chickens shouted with 47 , “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”

       The eagle  48  staring at his real family up above, 49  that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his  50  be known, he was told it couldn’t be done. That is  51  the eagle learned to believe. Slowly, the eagle  52  dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken.  53 , after a long life as a chicken, the eagle  54 .

       You become what you believe you are; so if you ever dream to become an eagle, 55  your dreams, not the words of a chicken.
