英语励志故事：雄鹰
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！。
