An Eagle

As I drove past the eagle’s nest, I saw a small dark spot on the branch at the top of the tree. But no eagles in sight. I wondered what was that spot? As I drove past, I realized it was an eagle. It looked way to small for an eagle.

That’s when I realized that a eagle perched on the branch overlooking their nest is quite small. But when they take flight, they are huge. Their wingspan is so great.

If I were an eagle, would I sit on the branch curled up and protecting myself and my nest? Or would I spread my wings and soar?
