Chapter 25 The Eagle Teaches the Scriptures
"There is no essential difference between flying in the sky and flying in the tree," said the eagle, "except that I have an insatiable heart." β
Last time, it was mentioned that the eagle took a large apple and gave it to an animal, but to whom did it give it?
Unexpectedly, it walked straight in front of the chicken angel, bowed deeply to the chicken angel, and then said emotionally:
"This big red apple should be dedicated to you......"
The chicken angel was very surprised, it never dreamed that the eagle would give this only honor to itself, it would be good if it came this time, it would not be ridiculed by everyone, how could it expect any honor and reward? Because for the eagle to fly, the chicken angel really did nothing, not only refused to accept this apprentice, but also did not even have a word of encouragement.
"I can't accept it," the chicken angel's face was already very red, but now it became even redder, and his originally clever speech stammered a little, "I ...... I deserve it, flying is ...... It's the result of your own efforts, I ...... I didn't do anything......"
"None of this is important," said the eagle solemnly, "but the important thing is that you came up with the idea of flying, and it was with you that we were able to fly up the trees and realize our dream of flying." This idea is more precious than anything else. Forests need this kind of innovative thinking, without which society would stagnate. You say, do you deserve this apple?"
"But ......," the chicken angel wanted to say and stopped.
"I know what you want to say," said the eagle, "you are not the only one who has innovative ideas, I have also thought about this, in addition to you, there are two, that is, the stubborn pig and the dream monkey, it is the stubborn pig who first put forward the idea of climbing the tree, although it failed, but it is its thinking that guides the dream monkey to climb the tree, and the dream monkey with its own actions, confirmed the correctness of this idea, which is commendable, I thank you on behalf of the entire forest society, thank you." Now that they have left the forest, please accept this gift on their behalf. β
"If so, I have nothing to say, but ......," said the Chicken Angel, who stared at the eagle for a moment, "but there is another ......"
"Who do you mean?" asked the eagle, puzzled.
"It was you," said the Chicken Angel, "it was you who came up with the idea of flying into the sky, and you were the first to fly into the blue sky......
"There is no essential difference between flying in the sky and flying in the tree," said the eagle, "except that I have an insatiable heart." β
After speaking, the eagle handed over the apple, respectfully handed to the chicken angel, the chicken angel took it, held the apple to greet everyone, the animals echoed with thunderous applause and cheers, the applause and cheers are from the heart, is a kind of spiritual resonance, it is not only the affirmation of the chicken angel's merits, but also the praise of the eagle's broad mind, but also a kind of self-reflection and encouragement.
"Practice flying with us. The eagle struck while the iron was hot and said to the chicken angel.
"I can already fly," said the chicken angel, "and I don't have to practice anymore." β
"I'm talking about flying into the sky. Eagle said.
"You make me think about it," said the chicken angel, "and I haven't thought about it yet." β
It is indeed a great honor to be able to fly into the blue sky, but when it thinks of the suffering it has suffered from practicing in the past, it retreats, anyway, now that it can eat enough and live a very happy life, why suffer that sin again. There is no practical point in practicing flying, it is better to enjoy each day. It says think about it, but it's just a pretext, and it's not good to refuse it bluntly in front of everyone.
"Then we will wait for you. Eagle said.
The two plays that the eagle performed today, one is an air show and the other is an apple offering. The former is wonderful, dangerous, and exciting, while the latter is full of suspense, high-mindedness, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The purpose of this is to let the animals broaden their horizons, open their minds, and put their ideals farther away, especially like the chicken angel, who has just made a little achievement and stops moving, and lives by eating the old animals, it wants to mobilize them and put them into the vigorous activities of flying to the blue sky.
Of course, if there is any practical significance of flying to the blue sky, the eagle is not clear, it always feels that flying a little higher, better than a little lower, as for the good, how much better, it really can't say, so for the chicken angel, it can only encourage, can not be forcefully persuaded, it is very hopeful that the chicken angel can take out the strength of the past practice flying, and together with himself, lead everyone to fly to the blue sky.
The chicken angel made an excuse and left.
The other animals were also a little loose, and some had already lifted one leg up and were about to step out......
"Don't go, everyone, listen to me," said the eagle, "since the dream monkey king learned to climb trees, we first got rid of the crisis of hunger, and the forest animals are no longer threatened by hunger, but when the dream monkey king leaves the forest, many of our animals can not eat fruit again, why, because we ourselves do not have the ability to survive independently, where does this ability come from?" It is not born with it, but it is obtained by their own unremitting efforts, now so many animals have learned to climb trees, there are many animals that are about to learn, many animal wings are about to be formed, this is an encouraging thing, I hope you can continue to work hard, in the near future, to achieve their own leap in life. β
The animals listened in silence. Just listen to the eagle continue:
"From tomorrow, everyone who is willing to learn to fly will come here, I will guide, and those who are willing to learn to climb trees will still practice climbing trees with the old cow......"
"The old cow has withdrawn. "Someone said.
"Where is the old cow?" this is what the eagle did not expect, thinking that at the beginning, the eagle was the most resolute and hard-working one, why, if you don't practice, you won't practice?
"Already left ......"
"How long will it take to leave?" the eagle thought that the old cow had left after watching the show, but in fact it had been staring at everyone, but it had not noticed who had left from here. So it says, "Where did you go? Get it back......
"It can't be found," said someone who said, "and it left the other day, and no one knows where it went, probably out of the forest." β
Somehow, the eagle's chest is a little blocked, since the stubborn pig left, the dream monkey, the big sweet peach, the tail wolf, etc. have left the forest one after another, the typhoon dog has disappeared in the past few days, some people say that they are looking for the dream monkey, now, the old cow is also gone, what is the matter?
The eagle had a lot to say, but now he was not in the mood for it, and just said, "Let's disperse, let's all come here tomorrow to practice, don't be late." β
The animals went their separate ways.
Where did the old cow go? In fact, the old cow did not go far, the eagle flight show, it also knows, and just now also watched the eagle's performance, the eagle's wonderful performance, so that it is quite emotional, they both started at the same time, are the leader of the training group, the eagle is diligent, but he has never been lazy, and now, seeing that the eagle has crossed two steps, their own students one by one slouched up the tree, and in addition to the belly and the soles of the feet are thickened, but there is no growth in climbing the tree, how can you have the face to see the eagle and everyone? People will laugh at me, thinking of this, it decided to leave the forest, although it could not tell what the benefit of leaving the forest was, but it thought, anyway, out of sight, out of mind, so it resolutely raised its footsteps and walked towards the end of the forest.
However, after all, after living in the forest for so many years, the old cow walked while reminiscing about the good times in the forest, and missed the animals who lived and played together, so it walked very slowly, and it looked back from time to time, and always felt that there was a familiar animal behind it, and it thought, if someone called it now, it would definitely go back with it, not to mention leaving the forest, but no, the animals have not left the air show venue, and are still watching the eagle's show, and no one knows where it goesγ Sometimes it simply stood still, but after hesitating for a moment, it raised its legs and walked forward.
Later, the old cow came to the grassland, settled down on the grassland, after all, did not practice climbing trees, but the good time in the forest, it will never forget jì, because of the longing for friends in the forest, so it often wanders, so that in our eyes, always feel that the eyes of the old cow are big and godless, and the walking is weak. These are all things for later, so let's not mention them for the time being.
After the eagle went back, his heart has been very irritable, although today is very beautiful, but because it did not persuade the chicken angel, the old cow also left the forest because of fear, no matter what it thinks in its heart, who can guarantee that there will not be a second chicken angel, the second old cow? one is complacent after a little achievement, and stops moving; the other is that after failure, he cannot raise his head, and gives up on himself, and becomes a deserter. It doesn't want to be the king of the forest, nor does it want to have the patent of flying, it always thinks that everyone should have the ability to fly, it can't say why, but subconsciously, it always thinks that it is very necessary.
Night fell, the forest gradually darkened, it was time to rest, the eagle was very tired today, it wanted to fall asleep earlier, so that it could nourish the spirit to guide tomorrow's training, but it couldn't fall asleep again and again, as soon as it closed its eyes, its mind was full of the shadow of the chicken angel and the old cow. The arrogant neck of the chicken angel and the melancholy eyes of the old cow quickly occupied all the available space like a computer virus, and it used various anti-virus software to scan, but to no avail, it wanted to shut down, but it had crashed, and it couldn't turn it off if it wanted to.
The eagle simply got up, and did not sleep, and went for a walk in the forest alone, and it was easy to sort out the clues, when a cool breeze blew, and its brain was much clearer, and the leaves brushed and pulled, as if blowing countless wind chimes, making a pleasant sound.
Zhili and Cricket seem to be a pair of performers, playing tirelessly in the huge forest, but unfortunately there are too few listeners, and the animals have fallen asleep, and no one comes to appreciate them. Are they self-absorbed, or are they lonely and lonely and rely on playing the piano to relieve their sorrows?
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and at the same time it stopped abruptly, without any sound, as if a rapidly falling plane suddenly stopped in the air, and it was also like the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the vibrant earth in the universe, leaving no trace.
The eagle was startled, which it did not expect, because it was enjoying the pleasure that music brought to it, and it could devote itself to the harmony and beauty of nature without thinking about the things that bothered it. When it figured out what was going on, it subconsciously stopped and said to itself, "Why don't you play?" β
"I'm listening, too. β
This cold sentence startled the eagle again, and its heart "thumped" before it calmed down for a while. It turned out that the woodpecker was doing chest expansion exercises.
"You didn't sleep either?" asked the eagle.
"No," said the woodpecker, "I was deeply touched by your performance, and I wanted to practice in the dead of night." You're here, just in time to give me some pointers. β
"Didn't you learn to climb trees?" asked the eagle, puzzled, for it had heard that the woodpecker had not only learned to climb trees, but also climbed well, and that it had also instructed other animals.
"Yes, but I want to learn more while I'm young," said the woodpecker, "I want to fly into the blue sky, not because I think it's romantic, but just to survive, and if I don't have the ability, or if the ability is too small, I can't stand in society." While it is not yet at the end of the mountain, it is necessary to work hard and learn some skills, which is the so-called precaution. β
Although the woodpecker's words are very vulgar, they hit the nail on the head, whether it is climbing trees or flying trees, isn't it all about survival? Isn't flying a higher ability to survive......? The eagle didn't dare to think about it, that thought seemed to be cursing the forest, but there was nothing that would never happen, there was nothing we didn't want it to happen, it wouldn't happen, the woodpecker's words gave the eagle a lot of inspiration, and it felt that it could sleep well today.
"It's late, let's go back to bed. Eagle said.
"You haven't instructed me yet," said the woodpecker, a little disappointed, not knowing what the eagle was thinking, and so anxiously said, "how can I sleep if you don't guide me?"
"I can sleep," said the eagle with a smile, but when he saw that the woodpecker was still in a daze, he smiled again and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you tomorrow." β
The woodpecker laughed too. At that moment, something suddenly popped out of the grass and startled them both.
What is popping out of the grass? Can you find out next time?
