I Am A Hawk
This story all started when an earthquake happened in a far distance. Trees fell down, wind blew very fast, and loud cracking noise was everywhere, land tore down and split to two pieces. After the disaster, a young farmer happened to pass the area. He saw a broken nest under a tree that attracted him. It seemed like it fell down from a tree because of the quake. He found an egg in the nest. He was amazed to see its size as it was much bigger than chicken eggs.
He decided to take the egg home to have one of his laying hens to brood it. After a few week, the giant egg finally hatched following other eggs that had hatched before. It was a bird, looked like chicken but just bigger. The hen thought the bird was just like her other Chicks, so she raised him. Ever since, hi lived with other chicks. He ate, made noise and played with his fellow chicks. He felt like the members of the family.
One day, up on the sky, there was a hawk flying around fearlessly up on the sky. He flew around, went down and circled in the air like the king of the air. From the distance, his eyes carefully watched all around to find targets. At the same time. the weird chicken looked up at the sky and felt excited to see the hawk. "Wow, what is that flying up there i n t h e sky? It was so great, so brave and the wing is so beautiful. The voice is roaring up there...1 can hear it from here," he said excitedly.
Then he turned sad. "I wish I could fly like that. I must be very proud and happy," whispered the bird. One day, the hawk flew down circling the young bird. "Hey, you... !" shouted the hawk "Why do you just look up te the sky and walk, not fly ...Come on, you have to fly...!" The young chicken was so surprised. "What, you want me to fly? You are not serious are you? I cannot fly. I was born to walk," answered the young chicken. "You are wrong! You are a hawk. You can fly just like me!" shouted the hawk to remind him of what he really was. "No. I am different from you! I do dream that I could fly like you, but this is my destiny. I will never fly." The hawk began to lose his patience.
Then he flew up and down as fast as he could, he grabbed the bird with his claws and took him flying. "Now, get ready, I will let you of...fan your wings as hard you can!" And hop... the hawk let him of in the air. He was so afraid; he pushed himself to fan his wings as hard as he could. After a few moment, he could control his balance and fly. He just realized that he really could fly. "Hi... I am flying. I don't fall. I am really flying... I really can fly!" he shouted very loudly and happily. He then happily started his new life as hawk. "I am a hawk. The land is not my place. I don't have to walk to find food. I belong to the air. I will fly wherever I want, I will travel around the world!"
Dear readers,
The story reminds us of all good potencies we have deep inside us. As human being, all of us have talents and potencies. But most of the time, we just do not see it. We never realize their existence. They are embedded deep inside because we dare not to try to push them out. Like what I always say, "All things are impossible simply because we never try them."
