On a mountain top, there was a nest full of the eggs of an eagle (鹰). One day a wind shook the nest _________ and one of the eggs dropped out! It rolled (滚动) down the mountainside slowly and finally came to a farm. The chickens there were very surprised to see this big egg. They decided to _________ it, so an old hen sat on it.

It was _________ for the old hen—the egg was too big—but her care and the heat from her body worked. The egg finally hatched (孵化) and an eagle came out. They called him Ted. It was unfortunate for Ted because the chickens raised him in the only way they knew—as a chicken. Therefore, when he grew bigger, he _________ he was only a chicken.

One day, a big eagle flew over the farm and shouted at Ted, “Why aren’t you flying up high with us?”

“I’m a chicken,” said Ted, “I can’t fly.”

“Of course you can. You are an eagle, not a chicken! Look at your wings. They are _________ mine!”

“But I can’t fly,” said Ted. “Yes, you can. Do as I do.”

Ted hesitated (犹豫) , then spread his huge wings for the _________ time. To his surprise, he soon found himself flying high in the sky.
