One day a man accidentally found an egg. It was from an eagle, but he wasn’t aware of this fact. He took it, put it in the hen’s nest, next to the other eggs.
The hen hatched the eggs till the chicken and the little eagle came out. Days havepassed, the little eagle grew up, cock-ling like the chickens, flying for very short distances like them…and he grew old like that.

One day he looked at the sky and saw a wonderful bird up there. He was fascinated by its beauty so he asked the hen ‘What bird is that?‘.
She answered ‘It’s the eagle, the king of the birds. We are only chickens‘.
So the eagle lived and died like a chicken because he believed that’s what he was.
