Eagles raised by chickens and vice versa

There is a story told of an eagle raised by chickens. He fluttered short distances, scratched at the ground, pecked and clucked, never suspecting he was an eagle that could fly. This story is meant to inspire us to reach our unrealised potential.

As I often do, however, I wondered what the story would be like if the whole thing were turned on its head. That is, make it a story of a chicken raised by eagles, in a nest high on the cliffs. When he gets big enough, he takes off from the nest, flutters all the way to the ground and lands there, unable to fly at all. , b
