Once upon a time, there was a baby eagle. He lived in the nest(巢) on a cliff (悬崖），looking at a beautiful valley(山谷）with waterfalls, trees and lots of little animals. The nest was the whole world to him. It was warm and comfortable. And even better, he had all the food, love and attention(关注) that a great mother eagle could give. The baby eagle grew strong and he felt good all the time.
But one day, the mother came back home and said, "Eat this, and it's your last meal. "The baby cried, but he ate and thought what had happened. Just then, surprisingly, the mother pushed him out of the nest. He fell, with head facing down, faster and faster. He cried, "I'm dying!". He looked up at his mother, "How could you do this to me?" He looked down. The ground looked closer.
At that time, something strange happened. The air caught behind his wings(翅膀）and they carried up his body, with a feeling that he had never had. He looked down and saw the ground. He wasn't falling to the ground any more, and his eyes pointed to the sun.
"Huh?" he said, "What is going on here?"
"You're flying," his mother said.
"This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he shouted in the sky happily.
"Yes, it is!" said the mother. Be a baby in the warm nest or be a brave(勇敢的) eagle flying in the sky? You tell me, please.
