Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle's nest with four large eagle eggs. One day 31 earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm 32 (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle's egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (哺育) and raise the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 33 , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 34 a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out 35 more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds."
The chickens roared with 36 (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 37 (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams 38 (know), he was told it couldn't be done. That is 39 the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow 40 dreams... not the words of a chicken.
