A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken.

The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken.

He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings.

It was a dreary life.

Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter.

One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of 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 friends, you too were born an eagle.

The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!

一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。

鹰被孵出来了，但他以为自己是一只山鸡。

渐渐的他长大了，却做着山鸡所做的事---从泥土里寻找食物，做短距离的飞翔，翅膀还啪啪作响。

生活非常沉闷，渐渐地鹰长大了，也越来越苦恼。

有一天，他和他的山鸡朋友看见一只美丽的鸟在天空翱翔，飞的比山还高。

哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊！

”鹰说。

山鸡回答说，不要想了，那是凶猛无比的鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样！

”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。

他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。

最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。

朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。

造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话！
