Long long ago, there was a king. He loved animals very much. One day he got _1_ nice falcons from his son. He had never seen such _2_ falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer(训练隼者) to _3_ them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see _4_ the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while _5_ was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to _6_ every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them _7_. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his _8_. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could _9_ this problem. Then he invited a _10_ who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying in the sky freely. He felt very surprised.
“It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you _11_ it happen?”
The farmer replied, “It is very _12_. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. It had no place to rest. Then it had to _13_.”
It is always the same as human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well. But it seems that we don’t notice them and stay in a place where we just feel _14_ and comfortable. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the branches we are resting on _15_. Do you think so?
