USED, SINCE BOTH SUGGEST
VYING FOR A PARTICULAR
RESOURCE.
EXAMPLE:
-WHEN A PERSON FAILS TO

 The Old Eagle

A man found an eagle's egg and put it

in the nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet
hatched with the brood of chicks and
grew up with them. All his life the eagle did
what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he
was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the
earth for worms and insects. He clucked
and cackled. And he would thrash his
wings and fly a few feet into the air.
 Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One
day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the
cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among
the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat
on his strong golden wings. The old eagle looked
up in awe. "Who's that?" he asked. "That's the
eagle, the king of the birds," said his neighbor. "He
belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth - we're
chickens." So the eagle lived and died a chicken,
for that's what he thought he was.
-Anthony de Mello (1931 - 1987) Jesuit Priest
Why did the eagle think that he was a chicken?
 If the eagle had found out that he was an
eagle all along, how would the story possibly
end?
 “So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for
that was what he thought he was.”
What are your personal thoughts about this?
