The eagle

Once upon a time there was a large moutainside where an eagle's nest was rested. The nest contained four large eagle eggs. One day, an earth quake shook the mountainside and one of the eggs fell down the cliff, to a chicken farm.

The chickens knew they should care and protect the egg, so one old hen volunteered to hatch the egg. One day, the egg hatched, and a beautiful eagle was born.

Sadly, however, the chickens disliked the eagle. They feared her for not only what she is, but also what potentials she may possesse. They taunted her, lied about her, hurt her, picked on her, isolated her, joked about her, ruined her colorful feathers, and hurt her beautiful wings, and fed lies to her that she was nothing but a chicken. The eagle believed that she was INDEED nothing but a chicken, but her spirit cried for what there is more in life!

She would look up in the sky and found a group of eagles soaring high above, and she would cry:" I wish I could soar like those birds!" The rest of the chickens raored with laughers: "HAHA, you cannot soar! you are a chicken!"

Then one day, came another he-eagle, who loved the she-eagle. He would often tell her the wonders he saw in the sky high above the chicken pit. He expressed his admirations and how much he loved her. He told her that she could fly too!

The she eagle was very angry, and she was hurt because she felt that she didn't deserve love. She cried:
"WHY DO YOU LOVE A CHICKEN?"

The he-eagle was sad, but said nothing. Instead, he led her to a cliff, and stood over the edge, said:
"come here, my love"

"No, I won't" she replied

"Come here, I love you." he said

"No, I am afraid." she resisted

"Come with me." he said

So she came over the edge, and he pushed her.

Then she flys!

thanks http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

the person that I love suffered a similar and worse fate.

the original work, written by some unknown dude had a different ending
the eagle died by old age and never got a chance to redeem herself
I hated it, and it sucks. so I wrote this one http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif thanks for reading

An adaptation of the 'ugly duckling' story, but I like the eagle/chicken contrast better, lol! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Only one criticism - you need to do a little work on your understanding of English grammer! It will make your work SO much better. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
