Once a farmer found an
abandoned eagle's nest and
in it was an egg still warm. He
took the egg back to his farm
and laid it in the nest of one of
his hens. The egg hatched
and the baby eagle grew up
along with the other chickens.
It pecked about the farmyard,
scrabbling for grain. It spent
its life within the yard and
rarely looked up. When it was
very old, one day it lifted up
its head and saw above it a
wonderful sight - an eagle
soaring high above in the sky.
Looking at it, the old creature
sighed and said to itself, "If
only I'd been born an eagle".
