The Farmer and the Eagle
Once an Eagle was trapped by a snare and one of its wings was
hurt. A Farmer happened to walk past it. The Eaglethought it would die
this time. To its surprise, the Farmer picked it up and inspected its
wound. Then he took it home and nursed itswound carefully. He set the
Eagle free when it was able to f ly.
One afternoon, the Farmer was taking a nap ne$ to a stone wall.
On the other side of the wall, the river had burst its banks and water
was rushing towards the wall. The Farmer did not know that some stones
in the wall were loose and that his life was in danger.
The Eagle was flying in the sky. lt saw all this. Quickly, it swooped
down, grabbed the farmer's hat and flew away. The Farmer was angry
and chased after the Eagle. Just then, the wall ccillapsed. The Eagle had
saved the Farmer's life. Seeing this, the Farmerthanked the Eagle from

These days people are still talking about a missing plane that
disappeared from the radar screen while it was flying to its destination.
According to newspaper reports, the plane lost contact with the air-
traffic control centre less than an hour after takeoff. The plane was
believed to have crashed into the ocean.
The f light carried over two hundred passengers and crew members.
A large-scale rescue operation started a few hours later but it failed to
find the wreckage of the missing plane. The search continued for more
than two years and involved several countries.
The passengers on board must feel terrified and their families must
feel anxious. Many people wish that a miracle would happen. They wish
the flight would land on its destination some time in the future and the
passengers would return home safely.
