[00:03]Do Not Listen to Prairie Chickens
[00:07]A boy found an eagle¡¯s egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken.
[00:12]The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken.
[00:16]He grew up doing what prairie chickens do¡ª
[00:19]scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings.
[00:25]It was a dreary life.
[00:28]Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter.
[00:32]One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air,
[00:37]high above the mountains.
[00:39]¡°Oh, I wish I could fly like that!¡± said the eagle.
[00:41]The chicken replied, ¡°Don¡¯t give it another thought.
[00:44]That¡¯s the mighty eagle, the king of all birds¡ªyou could never be like him!¡±
[00:49]And the eagle didn¡¯t give it another thought.
[00:51]He went on cackling and complaining about life.
[00:55]He died thinking he was a prairie chicken.
[00:57]My friends, you too were born an eagle.
[01:01]The Creator intended you to be an eagle,
[01:03]so don¡¯t listen to the prairie chickens!
