A proud parrot approached an eagle, and said to him.

“I can fly high over the tallest trees in the world. How high can you fly?”

The eagle said.

“Well, I’m not really a good flyer, so I can’t reach the tallest trees”

The parrot burst out laughing.

“Oh, what a shame… I can’t believe that I fly higher than most birds in the kingdom. I’m so blessed” he bragged.

“You’re really blessed” the eagle uttered.

The following day, the parrot approached the eagle again and said to him.

“How about if I teach you how to fly high, so that you can reach the tallest trees just like me?”

“That would be awesome. Please do!” the eagle whistled.

The eagle went along with the parrot and they both started flying, with the parrot demonstrating how to fly. But the parrot was completely astonished when the eagle flew and flew with strength, so high until he was invincible. He was a great flyer. The parrot couldn’t believe his eyes.

When the eagle finally landed, the parrot, filled with remorse and shame, asked.

“You’re a genius. Why didn’t you tell me all along?”

The eagle smiled, then said.

“That’s the difference between an eagle and a parrot. I’m an eagle and I don’t talk much. I don’t brag, I only know my worth and I believe in it. I am known for my power and ability to fly at high altitudes in the sky. Are you surprised? Well, I am the only bird that will fly above the storm clouds… When other birds find shelter during the rain, I avoid the rain by flying above the clouds. I can travel extremely high up to where the air is much thinner, then I move more oxygen through my body by pushing more blood into my bloodstream with every beat of my heart”

Moral of the Story:

Don’t be a talkative parrot that brags a lot. Be humble and silent like the eagle. Don’t waste your time proving your worth to anyone. The time will prove you, what you are and what you can be.
