When Can I Take My Asvab
The eagle was believed a chicken
A man found an egg eagle's nest and put it in a hen. The egg hatched simultaneously with the brood, el'aquilotto grew along with the chicks. Throughout his life the eagle did what the backyard chickens did, thinking one of them. Goaded on the ground looking for worms and insects, brood and shouting, shaking its wings, rising from the ground a few feet. Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw above him in the cloudless sky, a beautiful bird that soared, majestic and elegant in the midst of strong air currents, moving just the strong golden wings. The old eagle looked up in astonishment - who is that? - Churches. - It 's eagle the king of birds - said to his neighbor. - Belongs to the sky. We, however, belong to the earth, because we are chickens. - "So the eagle lived and died like a chicken because he thought of being such.
Anthony De Mello (1931 - 1987), Indian writer and Jesuit priest
