A little boy found an egg laid by an eagle and put it in a pheasant's nest. The eagle was hatched, but he thought he was a pheasant. Gradually he grew up, but he did what pheasants did-looking for food from the soil, flying for a short distance, and flapping his wings. Life is very boring, and gradually the eagle grows up and becomes more and more distressed. One day, he and his pheasant friends saw a beautiful bird soaring in the sky, flying higher than the mountain.

"Oh, I wish I could fly that high!" The eagle said. The pheasant replied, "Don't think about it, it's a fierce eagle, the king of birds-you can't be like him!" " So the eagle gave up the idea. He continued to cackle and complain about life. Finally, he died and still thought he was a pheasant. My friends, you were born eagles. The creator intends to make you an eagle, so don't listen to the pheasant!
