Once
there was a mama eagle and a baby eagle who lived in an aerie high above the
mountains. The baby eagle was only a few days old and demanded lots of food,
which her mama eagle always brought.
One day the baby eagle was hungry more
than the usual and kept crying. Mama eagle brought her all sorts of food that
she could lay her beak on, but the baby eagle was still hungry. Mama eagle
again went for looking food and in the air caught a bee.
Mama eagle gave that
bee to baby eagle. On seeing the bee, baby eagle was very surprised and stopped
crying, it wondered in amusement as what was this little creature with tiny
wings?. The baby eagle asked mama eagle, “mother what’s this”? Mama eagle
replied, “oh! that’s a bee. It collects pollen from flowers to make sweet,
luscious honey.” Baby eagle exclaimed, “ah! What a wonderful creature, can I
keep it as a friend?
Mama
eagle was very surprised but she also understood that the baby eagle was
feeling very lonely and needed a company. So, mama eagle agreed and thus, the
bee’s life was saved and she became a truthful friend of the baby eagle.
Surprises are often good. I'd best check our nest, that would be bad for us.
