HE WAS WHAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS

HE WAS WHAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS

One day, Mark had a strange find. He came upon an eagle’s egg, and decided to put it into the nest of a farmyard hen. In time the eaglet hatched with the hen’s brood of chicks, and grew up with them.

All his life the eagle did what farmyard chickens did, thinking he was a chicken. He scratched in the yard for worms, insects, and scraps of food; he clucked, cackled and would thrash his wings and rise a few feet into the air.

Years passed, and the eagle grew old. One day he saw a magnificent bird far above him in the clear blue sky. He watched it glide majestically among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings. The old eagle looked up in awe “who’s that?” he asked. “That’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” said his neighbour. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth – we’re chickens”. Eventually the old eagle died a chicken. He had lived a chicken and died a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.

A man came to work each day with his lunch box under his are. At lunch time each day he went through the exact same ritual. He opened the box, unwrapped the sandwiches, took out one sandwich, separated the slices of bread, and exclaimed “Oh no! Not cheese again!”

This went on every day, until eventually his workmates could take no more. One man turned to him and said, “Look dummy, why don’t you ask your wife to put something else in the sandwiches?”

“What wife? I am not married,” replied the man. “Then who makes the sandwiches?” he was asked. “I do,” was the reply!
