Fly, Eagle, Fly!

An African parable, originating in Ghana and interpreted by a South African author and illustrator, about recognising your potential – ‘that we are all born to be eagles who are lifted up with the might of the Spirit – like the wind-borne flight of an eagle’ (from the author’s note). A farmer raises a baby eagle as though it were a chicken. The bird does not realise it can fly until a friend of the farmer intervenes.
