The story of the eagle
Story Recommended by Brad Hindle
The eagle has the longest life-span of its’ species.
It can live up to 70 years
But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision
In its’ 40’s.
Its’ long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food.
Its’ long and sharp beak becomes bent.
Its’ old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its’
chest and make it difficult to fly.
Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful
process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its’ nest.
There the eagle knocks its’ beak against a rock until it plucks it out.
After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then
it will pluck out its’ talons.
When its’ new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its’ old-aged feathers
And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives
for 30 more years.
