An eagle's egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken.
The egg hatched and the little eagle grew up thinking it was a prairie chicken.
The eagle did what the prairie chickens did. It scratched in the dirt for
seeds. It clucked and cackled. It never flew more than a few feet because that
is what the prairie chickens did. One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and
majestically in the open sky. He asked the prairie chickens: "What is that
beautiful bird?" The chickens replied, "That is an eagle. He is an
outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him because you are just a prairie
chicken." So the eagle never gave it a second thought, believing that to
be the truth. He lived the life of and died a prairie chicken, depriving
himself of his heritage because of his lack of vision. What a waste! He was
born to win, but was conditioned to lose.
