The Eagle and the Grasshopper - Part 3

Later that day, a solitary, brave grasshopper approached the
eagle and asked, "Can you take me flying?"

The eagle nodded and gently took the grasshopper in his
powerful talon. With a few beats of his wings they were
aloft. Circling overhead, the grasshopper could see the
mountains, rivers and ocean that the eagle had described,
far beyond the familiar grass fields. Careful not to go too
high, the eagle soon returned the grasshopper to the ground.

Hearing the commotion, the other grasshoppers rushed over to
find out what had happened.

"He took me flying!" announced the brave grasshopper
proudly, but then admitted, "I got dizzy. I didn't like it."

"But our teacher has told us that flying is just
imagination," said another grasshopper.

"Bless your teacher and be grateful to her, for she has
taught you to hop," said the eagle. "But now you know the
truth."

The eagle looked deep within the eyes of the brave
grasshopper. Though she was still a bit dizzy, he saw a
spark within her very being. He looked at the others and saw
that the spark was already spreading to them. Soon, they
would no longer be content with just hopping - they would
all want to fly.

"My work here is done," announced the eagle abruptly. "Some
day you will all learn to fly!"

"But if you leave, who will teach us?"

"Rest assured, as it has always been, when the student is
ready, the teacher will appear."

With that, the eagle unveiled his powerful wings and soared
off into the sky.
