Once upon a time, in a high mountain range, an eagle’s egg rolled down into a chicken farm. A kind hen found it and decided to raise it as her own. The eagle grew up among the chickens, scratching the ground, pecking at grains, and never realizing its true potential.

One day, the eagle looked up and saw a majestic bird soaring high in the sky. Mesmerized, he asked the older chickens, “Who is that?”

“That’s an eagle, the king of the skies,” an old rooster replied. “But don’t think about it. You are just a chicken.”

The young eagle felt a deep longing but accepted his fate. Years passed, and he lived as a chicken, never attempting to fly beyond the farm.

One day, a mighty eagle descended upon the farm and saw the young eagle among the chickens. Surprised, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I am a chicken,” the young eagle replied.

“No, you are an eagle!” the mighty eagle declared. “You belong to the skies, not the ground. Spread your wings and fly!”

Doubtful but encouraged, the young eagle climbed onto a fence. Trembling, he flapped his wings and, for the first time, felt the wind lifting him. He soared higher and higher until he was above the clouds. In that moment, he realized he was never meant to be a chicken—he was born to rule the skies.

MORAL: You are stronger than you think. Never let your environment define your true potential.
