从前，有一只跟着鸭子们一起长大的小鹰，当这只小鹰有了强劲的翅膀可以飞时，母鸭告诉小鹰 ，“你跟小鸭子们一起孵出来，但你不是一只鸭，你是一只鹰。鹰是不走路的，他们飞翔。所以，飞走吧，去跟鹰们在一起。”小鹰回答说，“不，我不是鹰，我是一只鸭，我不能飞。”母鸭告诉鹰，“是的，你是一只鹰，你被一只鸭孵化出来，但你是一只鹰，你可以飞。”小鹰是如此害怕尝试，它回答说，“不，我不能飞，我是一名鸭――如果我试图飞的话，我会掉下来的。”
母鸭告诉小鹰 ，“你是一只鹰，你不属于这里。飞去和你的同类在一起，这样你就会更快乐些。试一试，请你尝试一下。鹰是飞的，他们不走路。你是一只鹰，你可以飞。”这只鹰想了一分钟，它开始伸展和拍打它的翅膀，它在周围稍稍弹跳了一下，然后它往上一跃就飞了起来。当它从地面升腾时，它意识到它可以飞，然后它开始凌空翱翔 。
Once there was an eaglet who grew up with ducks. When the eaglet grew strong wings to fly, the mother duck told the eaglet, “You hatched with ducks but you are not a duck. You are an eagle. Eagles don't walk, they fly. So fly away to be with eagles...” The eaglet replied,“No, I am not an eagle. I am a duck. I cannot fly.” The mother duck told the eagle, “Yes, you are an eagle. You were hatched by a duck but you are an eagle. You can fly.” The eaglet was so afraid to try ，it replied, “No, I cannot fly. I am a duck-if I try to fly, I will fall.”
The mother duck told the eaglet, “You are an eagle. You don't belong here. Fly and be with your own kind and you will be much happier. Try, please try. Eagles fly, they don't walk. You are an eagle. You can fly.” The eagle thought for a minute. It began to stretch and flap its wings. It bounced around a little, then it jumped up and flew. As it lifted off the ground it realized it could fly and began to soar in the air.
