It is not always easy to make choices about the direction of our lives.Here
is a children story about an eagle named Ted.He had to make a choice,and
made the right one.
Way up high on a mountain was a nest full of an eagle's eggs.One day a
strong wind shook the nest and one of the eggs dropped out!It gently rolled
down the mountainside and at last came to rest in a farm where many chickens
lived .The chickens there were very surprised to see the big egg.They decided
to take care of it,so an old hen sat on it for a while.
The egg finally hatched and an eagle ,called Ted ,came out of it.It was
unfortunate the only way they knew -----as a chicken.He grew to be a
funny-looking chicken and believed he was only a chicken.However ,sometimes
Ted looked up to the sky and saw eagles soaring above.How he wished he could
fly like them!When he mentioned this to the chickens ,they would laught at him
and say ,"don't be silly.A chicken can't fly that!"
One day
,a big eagle flew over the farm and shouted to Ted,"Why are youu not flying up
high with us?"
"I'm a chichken ,I can't fly." said Ted.
"You can!you are an eagle ,not a chicken!Look at your wings .They
are the same as mine!Do as I do."
Ted hesitated ,then spread his huge wings for the first time.To his
surprise,he soon found himeself soaring in the sky
