Eagle and Hen

There was an eagle’s nest atop a banyan tree. Her egg was placed in the nest. There was a hen’s nest under that tree. One day suddenly a strong wind started blowing. Because of the strong wind, the eagle’s egg, which was placed in the above nest, fell down and it was directly mixed with the hen’s eggs. The hen took care of it as his own egg. When the time came, the egg broke out and an eagle’s baby came out. But the hen began to consider him her own child.

The child grew up according to the hen’s methods over time. The eagle’s child considered himself a chicken. He would fly as high as the chickens and run like them. One day he saw above that the other birds were rising to the heights of the sky. Then he asked his mother who is the bird that is flying so high?

His mother hen replied, “That’s the eagle.”

“Then why can’t we fly to such a height?” The eagle asked the chicken again.

Mother replied, “Because we are chicken.”

This story tells us that we have to do the work while enlarging our thoughts and thinking high. Only then can we reach greater heights. If that eagle’s child tried to fly high after seeing others, he would surely fly to heights one day. We have to be positive. That is why we too have to keep working while keeping our thinking high. We will definitely get successful one day or the other.
