An Inspirational Story
(Ms Ritu Sinha)
(Ms Ritu Sinha)
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.
The
moral of the story: 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.
