Once upon a time there was a baby eagle. He lived in the nest on a cliff (悬崖), overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals. The nest was the whole world to him. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view. And even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. The baby eagle grew strong and he felt good all the time.
But one day, the mother came back home and said,“Eat this, and it’s your last meal,” she said. The baby cried, but he ate and thought about what had happened. Just then, surprisingly, the mother pushed him out of the nest. He fell, head first, faster ad faster. He screamed. “I’m dying!” he cried. He looked up at his mother, “How could you do this to me?” He looked down. The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. “This is unfair!” he screamed.
Something strange happened. The air caught behind his wings and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn’t moving towards the ground any more, and his eyes were pointed up at the sun.
“Huh?” he said,“ What is going on here?”
“You’re flying,” his mother said.
“This is fun!” laughed the baby eagle, as he soared (翱翔) and dived.
“Yes, it is!”said the mother.

A charity event took place in Beijing before Children's Day. Its aim was to raise social awareness(意识) of left-behind children. The event was held to raise money from businesses and the public to prepare “love bags”. Inside the bags, these are things for children, including books, torches, and envelopes（信封） and stamps so that children can write to their parents.
The event was started by Chen Weihong, a television host in China. “The left--behind children don't have enough parental love and family care. They need to be in touch with their parents. We hope our love bags will help them communicate with their parents, and make them happier, ” he said.
