Eagle egg had rolled down into chicken’s nest, and had been sat down by hen until it was hatched as the same time as the other chickens. The chickens and the young eagle had searched for food with each other until they grew up. The young eagle did not know how to fly, and it also had a same habit as the chicken. All the time, the young eagle was searching for food, he always saw a shadow of the birds above him. He was doubtful and asked hen. “That is eagle that can fly. Unlike us, we chicken need to live on the ground,” the hen answered. One day, while the young eagle was searching for food alone, he met the eagle. The eagle asked, “Go to search for food with us?” The young eagle answered “I cannot fly because I am a chicken.” The eagle continued, “No, you can fly. If you do not believe, just jump up that rock!” The young eagle could. “Just jump on that mountain.” He could. “Just fly in the space!” the young eagle could fly and saw something from distance. Since then, he had his own freedom.
