The Eagle and the Raven

 

Once the eagle met the raven and said, “Hey, Raven! You and I are both birds. So tell me, how come such a meek bird like you gets to live for three hundred years, but I only get to live for thirty years?”

“You eat live animals,” answered the raven. “You drink warm blood. But I eat dead animals,” said the raven.

 

The next day the eagle decided to go hunting with the raven. They flew for miles over the open steppe. Then they saw the body of a dead horse. The raven landed on the corpse of the horse and started to tear the flesh with his beak. The eagle thought that if he ate the dead horse, he would live for three hundred years too, so he took a bite of the dead horse, but then he spit it out. “Yuck!” he said. “Who wants to eat such disgusting food for three hundred years? It’s better to live for only thirty years and eat what I like!”

 

What do you think?

Do you agree with the eagle? Why or why not?

Make a list of five of your favorite foods. Put them in order from most favorite to least favorite. Can you find anyone in your class who has the same favorite foods? Are they in the same order?
