ÝÝÝÝ There was a nice eagle in the woods. He saw lots of
cougars, owls and a person walking by the river. He swooped down to the
ground and started to hiss at the person. The man started to run for home,
but the eagle got in front of him and hissed like a snake at him. The man
was not scared. He stopped and just sat there looking at him. Then he started
to walk near. The man started to pet the eagle with his hand. The man liked
the eagle and took the eagle home to play with. He went outside to play,
but the eagle started to hiss at him. He did not know what was wrong with
the eagle. Then the eagle flew away. Then one day the eagle came to him.
The eagle had a broken leg. The man fixed the eagle's leg. He started to
color some baskets. He spilled some color on the eagle and that's how the
eagle got so colorful.
