　　Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle's(鹰)nest rested．The eagle's nest had four big eagle eggs．One day an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm．The farm was at the foot of the mountain．The chickens knew that they must protect and care for the eagle's egg, so an old hen volunteered to raise the large egg．

　　One day, the egg hatched(孵化)and a beautiful eagle was born．Sadly, however, the little eagle was raised to be a chicken．Soon, the little eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken．The little eagle loved his home and family, but his spirit cried out for more．While playing a game on the farm one day, the little eagle looked up to the sky above and noticed a group of adult eagles flying in the sky．“Oh,” the little eagle cried, “I wish I could fly like those big birds．” The chickens laughed at him, “You can not fly with those birds．You are a chicken and chickens do not fly．”

　　The eagle continued watching his real family up above, dreaming that he could be with them．Each time the eagle told his friends his dream, he was told it couldn't be done．That is what the eagle learned to believe．The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken．Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle died．

　　Hawaii is famous for its beautiful beaches．Every year water sports, especially surfing and water skiing attract 　　1　　 tourists to the island．

　　Hawaii has been a magical name to people who like to travel 　　2　　 many years．People on 　　3　　 sides of the Pacific Ocean(太平洋)，in Japan and in America, dream of 　　4　　 these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean．In the tropical(热带的)lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops so 　　5　　 that you can almost see it move．The sun leaves behind a glow(落日余辉)that lights the sky in the quiet water．

　　People often have a quiet, enjoyable time walking along the water．This scenery is not very different from the exciting beauty that greeted the first tourists to these islands centuries ago．They came in canoes not much 　　6　　 than small boats．They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees(棕榈树)，but there were no grand hotels like 　　7　　 we see today．The first people came to Hawaii nearly 　　8　　 years ago, but skyscraper(摩天大楼)hotels were only built in the last 25 years．Now aeroplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo 　　9　　 San Francisco．　　10　　 people come from, they really want to see the earliest beauty of Hawaii．They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains which are almost hidden by the tall hotels．
