A POOR EAGLE
One day, a farmer found an eagle's egg. He brought it home and put it in his chicken coop. A hen incubated that egg with the chicken eggs. Then, the eggs hatched, including the eagle's egg.
This little eagle live with the other chicken which were hatched with him. He followed what the other chicken do, and kept it in his mind that he is a chicken. He searched from soil (or land, idk?) worms, tried to crow, and played with the other chicken.
Sometimes, he tried flapping his wings, but only to jump lowly, like the other chicken.
Time passed by, until this eagle is old enough.
One day, he saw a big bird, fly high in the sky. This bird fly gallantly(to be honest, idk this verb. For human, you can say gentle, cool, something like that. Mind to enlughten me?). This bird looked like challenging the wind.
The eagle asked to his friend, "Who is it? The bird which fly high?"
His friend, a chicken said, "He is an eagle. A king of birds. He is destined to fly high, freely, passed the
clouds. But, we are destinied to searched food here, eat worms. We are just chicken..."Well, finally this eagle continued his life only as a chicken. He never knew who he is. He thought that he's only a chicken, because it's the only thing that he believed from he was a child.

Well, to be honest, when i read this story, i just sigh and felt sorry to this eagle. He never knew that he is an eagle who can fly high, the king of the birds.
But, some times, i do think "who am i to dream so high? Who am i to dream that i can fly passed the cloud, fly freely in sky?"
Yeah, but, may be i'm an EAGLE, not a chicken. But, how can i know it if i never think out of the box? If i never try hard to fly high.
Let my friends who are chicken fly 5 m, I'm an eagle fly 5k m, shan't I?
P.s.
Thank You, and will you tell me my mistakes in grammar, etc. Since English is my second language?
