>>The story of the eagle
>>
>
>>The eagle has the longest life-span of its' species
>
>>It can live up to 70 years
>>But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision In its'  40's
>
>>Its' long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves  as 
>>food
>
>>Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent
>
>>Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become  stuck 
>>to its' chest and make it difficult to fly
>
>>Then,  the eagle is left with only two options:
>>die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
>
>>The process requires that the eagle fly to a high remote area or  mountain 
>>top and build a safe nest
>
>>There the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it breaks it off
>>the eagle will then wait for a new beak to grow back and then it  will 
>>pluck out its' talons
>
>>When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old- aged 
>>feathers
>
>>And after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of  rebirth and 
>>lives for ...
>>30 more years!
