THE FABLE OF THE EAGLE AND THE CHICKEN
Once upon a time, on a large mountainside there was an eagle nest with 4 large eagle eggs inside.
One day, an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eagle’s eggs to roll down to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The chickens took care of the egg and sat on it to keep it warm. Eventually, the eagle egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Being chickens, the chickens raised the eagle to be like a chicken. The eagle thought he was a chicken and so he acted just like a chicken. Chickens like to live on the land and do not usually soar high up in the sky like eagles do. The eagle learned to imitate the chickens. He scratched the ground looking for grubs and worms. He thought he was a chicken. The eagle loved his home and his family but his spirit cried out for more.
One day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the sky. “The eagle looked up and said, “What kind of animal is that? How graceful, powerful, and free it is.” Then he asked another chicken, “What is that?” The chicken replied, “Oh that is an eagle but don’t worry yourself about that. You will never be able to fly like that.” “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.” The chickens roared with laughter, “You cannot soar. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.” The eagle continued staring at the eagles up above, dreaming that he could be like them. Then the eagle went back to scratching the ground looking for grubs and worms to fit in with the other chickens. He continued to behave like the chicken he thought he was.
After time, the eagle stopped dreaming about becoming an eagle and continued to live his life as a chicken.
Finally, after a long life living as a chicken, the eagle passed away. He never knew the grand life that could have been his.
You become what you believe you are so aim high and be all that you can be. If you ever dream to become an eagle, follow your dreams. Don’t listen to people like the chickens. Be all that you are meant to be!
