    A boy found an eagle's(鹰) egg and he put it in the nest(巢) of a chicken. Soon the egg broke open and the eagle {#blank#}1{#/blank#} out. He thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what chickens do— looking for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in the dirt and flying short distances(距离) with a noisy waving of wings. It was a hard life. Little by little the eagle grew {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. One day he and his chicken friends {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a beautiful bird flying in the air, high {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the mountains.

    "Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken {#blank#}6{#/blank#} "Don't give it another thought. That's the great eagle, the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of all birds—you can never be like him!" And the eagle didn't give it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} thought. He went on cackling(咯咯) and complaining about {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Finally, he died thinking he was a chicken.

    My friends, you are born an eagle, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. The God expects you to be an eagle, so don't listen to the chickens.
