A large eagle egg rolled down a mountain after an earthquake and was raised by chickens on a farm below. The eagle was raised thinking it was a chicken and believed it could not fly like the eagles it saw in the sky. One day while playing, it looked up longingly at the eagles soaring above. Despite being told by the chickens it could not fly, the eagle continued dreaming of joining the eagles until it passed away as a chicken. The story encourages following your dreams rather than limiting beliefs.

1. Once upon a time, there was
a large mountainside, where
an eagle's nest rested.

3. The eagle's nest contained
four large eagle eggs.

4. One day an earthquake
rocked the mountain
causing one of the eggs to
roll down the mountain, to a
chicken farm, located in the
valley below.

5. The chickens knew that
they must protect and
care for the eagle's egg

6. so an old hen volunteered
to raise the large egg.

7. One day, the egg
hatched and a beautiful
eagle was born.

8. Sadly, however, the
eagle was raised to be a
chicken.

9. Soon, the eagle
believed he was nothing
more than a chicken.

10. The eagle loved his
home and family, but his
spirit cried out for more.

11. While playing a game on
the farm one day, the
eagle looked to the skies
above and

12. noticed a group of
eagles soaring in the
skies.

13. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I
wish I could soar like
those birds.“

14. The chickens laughed it
and said, "You cannot soar
with those birds.

15. You are a chicken and
chickens do not soar."

16. The eagle continued
staring, at his real family
up above, dreaming that
he could be with them.

17. Each time the eagle
would let his dreams be
known, he was told it
couldn't be done.

18. That is what the eagle
learned to believe. The
eagle, after time,
stopped dreaming and
continued to live his life
like a chicken.

19. Finally, after a long life
as a chicken, the eagle
passed away.

20. as a chicken

21. You become what you
believe you are; so if you
ever dream to become
an eagle follow your
dreams, not the words of
a chicken.

23. THE FROGS AND
THE TOWER

24. There once was a
bunch of tiny frogs...

25. ... who arranged a
running competition. The
goal was to reach the
top of a very high tower.

26. A big crowd had
gathered around the
tower to see the race
and cheer on the
contestants...

27. The race began...

28. No-one in crowd really
believed that the tiny
frogs would reach the
top of the tower. They
said:

29. "Oh, It is too difficult!!"

30. "They won’t reach to the
top".

31. "Not a chance that they
will succeed. The tower
is too high!"

32. The tiny frogs began to
drop. One by one...

33. The crowd continued to
yell

34. "It is too difficult!!! No
one will make it!"

35. More tiny frogs got tired
and gave up...

36. ...But ONE continued
higher and higher and
higher...

37. This one wouldn't give
up!

38. At the end, everyone
else had given up
climbing the tower.

39. Except for the one tiny
frog who, after a big
effort, was the only one
who reached the top!

40. THEN all of the other
tiny frogs naturally
wanted to know how this
one frog managed to do
it?

41. A contestant asked the
tiny frog how the one
who succeeded had
found the strength to
reach the goal?

42. It turned out...

43. That the winner was
deaf.
