做雄鹰还是山鸡，都在一念之间

a boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. the eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. he grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. it was a dreary life. gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. one day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.
"oh, i wish i could fly like that!" said the eagle. the chicken replied, "don't give it another thought. that's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" and the eagle didn't give it another thought. he went on cackling and complaining about life. he died thinking he was a prairie chicken. my friends, you too were born an eagle. the creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!

一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。鹰被孵出来了，但他以为自己是一只山鸡。渐渐的他长大了，却做着山鸡所做的事---从泥土里寻找食物，做短距离的飞翔，翅膀还啪啪作响。生活非常沉闷，渐渐地鹰长大了，也越来越苦恼。有一天，他和他的山鸡朋友看见一只美丽的鸟在天空翱翔，飞的比山还高。
“哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊！”鹰说。山鸡回答说，“不要想了，那是凶猛无比的鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样！”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话！
