Chicken

[Rattan...THE DECENT]

Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle’s
nest rested. The eagle’s nest contained four large eagle eggs. 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
chickens knew that they must protect and care for the eagle’s egg, so
an old hen volunteered to nurture and raise the large egg.



One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly,
however, the eagle was raised to be 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 mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the Eagle cried, "I
wish I could soar like those birds."

The chickens roared with laughter, "You cannot soar with those birds.
You are a chicken and chickens do not soar." 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 is what the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time,
stopped dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken.
Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.





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