"The Red-tailed Hawk"

A long time ago there was a bird who was so different it belonged to no family of birds. One day though she got tired of not belonging to any of the birds she saw around her. So she started flying to other places to try to decide what kind of bird family she wanted to belong to. She kept on flying and whenever she saw a bird she would observe how that bird acted, flew and ate, what it ate, and how others treated it. Whenever she didn't like what she saw she would just keep on going. Then one day she saw what she wanted to become, a very bright golden eagle.
The eagle was so bright that she had to squint her eyes to look at it. She approached the eagle slowly. Since she thought the eagle would harm her, she was cautious. When the golden eagle saw her, it asked her what she wanted. The bird said that she wanted to become a golden eagle just like he was. The golden eagle then replied that he was very old and that there could be

only one golden eagle in the world at a time. At that, the little bird became depressed and started crying. The golden eagle then told her not to cry because he had an idea. He told her that she should become a red-tailed hawk. The golden eagle instructed her to walk through powdery brown dust, yellow grass, rushing water, red berries, and finally charcoal. The eagle told her exactly what t do, but before she left to do the things she asked the eagle how in the world she would become a red-tailed hawk since she didn't belong to any bird family at all. The eagle told the bird that she was just the right size, shape, and weight to be a red-tailed hawk. So the bird left and did all that the golden eagle had instructed it to do. When she was done the bird looked at herself in the water and saw that she wasn't just an "it" anymore. She was a red-tailed hawk.
