A boy found an eagle’s egg and he put it in the nest of prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought the was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chickens do – scratching at the dirt for the food and flying short distance with a noisy fluttering wings. It was a dreary life.
Gradually the eagle grew old and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the current air, high above the mountains.
“oh, I wish I could fly like that!” said the eagle. The chicken replied, “Don’t give it another thought. That’s the mighty eagle, the king of all birds – you could never be like him!” And the eagle didn’t give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friend, you too were born an eagle. The creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!
If you can dream it, you can do it.
