Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle's nest(鹰巢）rested. There were four large eagle eggs in the eagle's nest. One day an earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The hens began to protect and care for the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched(孵出，破壳而出) and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however, the eagle was raised as a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, but his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of strong eagles flying in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could fly like those birds." The chickens laughed at him, "You cannot fly with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens can not fly."
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, dreaming that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams be known, he was told it couldn't be done. That was what the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, at last, stopped dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
