雄鷹

　　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!

　　一個小男孩發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只老鷹下的蛋，把它放進了一只山雞的窩里。鷹被孵出來了，但他以為自己是一只山雞。漸漸的他長大了，卻做著山雞所做的事---從泥土里尋找食物，做短距離的飛翔，翅膀還啪啪作響。生活非常沉悶，漸漸地鷹長大了，也越來越苦惱。有一天，他和他的山雞朋友看見一只美麗的鳥在天空翱翔，飛的比山還高。

　　“哦，我要能飛的那么高該多好��！”鷹說。山雞回答說，“不要想了，那是兇猛無比的鷹，鳥中之王---你不可能像他一樣！”于是鷹放棄了那個念頭。他繼續(xù)咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然認為自己是一只山雞。朋友們，你們天生就是雄鷹。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鷹，所以不要聽信山雞的話！
