大学生英语口语演讲比赛稿

　　A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairiechicken.The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken.He grew up doing whatprairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distanceswith a noisy fluttering of wings.It was a dreary life.Gradually the eagle grewolder and bitter.One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful birdsoaring on the currents of air,high above the mountains.

　　"Oh,I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle.The chickenreplied,"Don't give it another thought.That's the mighty eagle,the king of allbirds-you could never be  like him!" And the eagle didn't give itanother thought.He went on cackling and complaining about life.He died thinkinghe was a prairie chicken.My friends,you too were born an eagle.The Creatorintended you to be an eagle,so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!
