A farmer found an eagle's egg and, not knowing what it was put it under one of his hens.
When hatched out ,it rooted, cackled and scratched just like the others but often looked longingly upwards, envying graceful birds soaring in the sky above and wishing he could be like them .
Sadly,he passed the rest of his life in the farmyard ,not because he couldn't fly ,but because he never tried.Because he believed he was a chicken.
