“Hopping is useful, but when you can fly, it is no longer  7   ．” said the eagle．

“Tell us more, “ said the grasshoppers．

The eagle began telling them what the world  8   he grass fields was like．It was a world that included mountains, rivers and oceans（海洋）．

Then the eagle took one  9   grasshopper in his powerful talon to the sky．The grasshopper could see the mountains, rivers and oceans that the eagle had   10   ．

After the eagle landed, he saw a spark （闪光） in the grasshopper’s eyes． The grasshopper told others what he had seen in the sky．Therefore, the grasshoppers dreamt of flying in the sky．
