перевести кто знает хорошо английский THE EAGLE
Once there was a farmer wha was out one day
when He saw an eagle, WMm. he thought, that
big bird would make a tasty meal So he shot it
- bang The eagle fell through the air and
landed heavily en the ground.
But when the farmer saw the eagle's big beak
and sharp talons, he thaught, That bird's a
killer. Ugh! I don't wont to eat something that's
been killing animals and eating meat Then
the farmer had an idea. He elimbed
high, high up the cliff until he found
the eagle's nest. And in the ecgle's
nest was the eagle's egg, still worm.
So the farmer carried the eagle's egg
to the farmhouse, and put it under a
hen with her other eggs, And after
some time, the little eogle chick hatched
along with the baby chickens. The eagle chick
grew up in the farmyard omong the chickens.
And the eogle thought it was a chicken And it
learnt to peck corn, just like the chickens.
The blologist pleked up the eagle agalh, lifted
It high in the air and rnn down 1he field,
shouting. You are an eagle, not a chicken The
cagle, to balance, spread forth one wing and
then the other, Fly, eogle, tly. shouted the
biologist, and he threw the cagle into the air.
The eagle glided gently back to the ground, and
then walked back to the farmyard and pecked
the corn among the chickers.
The farmer walked towards the eagle with his
sharp, sharp knife, and he put out his hand to
toke the eagle by the neck
but the biologist grabbed the
eogle and started running. The
farmer ran after him, shouting, 'Stop
thief. Bring back my eagle. Bring back
my dinner. I've fed that eagle since
it was a baby chick. It's minel"
The biologist ran and ran and ran, He
ran up the high, high cliff carrying the eagle,
which by now was very heavy and seemed to be
getting heavier by the minute. The farmer was
following behind.
Eventually, just as the farmer was about to
catch them, they reached the top of the high,
high cliff. It's now or never! whispered the
biologist, and he threw the eagle over the
cliff shouting, 'Fly! You are not a chicken.
You're an eaglel
The eagle fell through the air like a stone.
Then, to balance, it spread out its wings, and
the rising warm air caught it and held it in mid-
air. And then the warm air lifted the eagle and
it began to rise higher and higher and higher,
until it was soaring high in the sky. Then, for
the first time in Ifs life, it flapped its wings
and began to fly.
And from that day on, the eagle lived as an
eagle, flying and soaring high in the sky.
But sometimes in its heart there was a great
loneliness and a great sadness. Sometimes in its,
heart it was a chicken who longed to return to
the farmyord and be among the chickens
pecking conn.
And the boby eagle grew, and grew, and grew,
Luntil, when it stretched its wings, they were
two metres from tip to tip, and the feathers
were a beautiful golden brown colour. But still
the cogle thought it was a chicken, and it
pecked the corn just like the chickers.
And the farmer looked at the eogle and said
Mml This eagle is getting very big. It will make
a tasty meal, and this eagle has never eaten
meat.' So the farmer starting sharpening his
knife - scritch! swishl scritchl swish!
A biologist who was walking past the farmyard
saw the magnificent young ecgle pecking corn
among the chickens. 'Hello, he said. "What are
you doing in a farmyard? You're not a chicken,
you're an eagle."
So saying, the biologist lifted up the eagle and
threw it into the air, but the eagle fell to the
ground and once again started pecking the corn
among the chickens.
Just then the farmer came out of the
farmhouse with his sharp, sharp knife ready to
kill the eagle for his supper.
