Story of an Eagle

A very meaningful way to learn of life - only parts of it.

-The eagle has the longest life-span of its' species.
-It can live up to 70 years
-But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision
-In its' 40's, its' long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food
-Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent
-Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest and make it difficult to fly
-Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
-The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest
-There the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out
-After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its' talons
-When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers
-And after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of rebirth and lives for ... 30 more years.
