The eagle

Once a farmer found an abandoned eagle's nest and in it was an egg still warm. He took the egg back to his farm and laid it in the nest of one of his hens. The egg hatched and the baby eagle grew up along with the other chickens. It pecked about the farmyard, scrabbling for grain. It spent its life within the yard and rarely looked up. When it was very old,
one day it lifted up its head and saw above it a wonderful sight - an eagle soaring high above in the sky. Looking at it, the old creature sighed and said to itself, "If only I'd been born an eagle".

I believe it is a strange story that eagle can stay with hens. If I imagine I don't know who I am, I might not have happy life because all people should know about themselves. So, how can we live without knowing parents?

It is impossible that eagle can live with other chickens until it become grew up, and never notice it self different from others. But this story maybe want to show that if it self differ from other, but it can live in the peace together.

It's true and always true. The surrounding environment can shape us. It's can be from either good to bad or from bad to good. If we are powerful enough, we can be a victim of the surrounding. So, just wise enough to choose the appropriate atmosphere ensuring that we can become better; we can learn and grow. Moreover, if we are powerful enough, no matter where it is, we can survive and do better and choose a very favorable atmosphere. But we have to know ourselves too in order that who we are exactly and whether in what area we need improvement.
