Read the following story and answer the question that follows it.
EAGLE’S QUEST
A long time ago when pigs could still fly and animals could speak with authority, Eagle,
the queen of the skies, was the leader of all birds and the heavens. She flew higher in
the sky than everyone and ruled ably over her people. During those times, a huge
crisis came to be: there was no food due to drought, and the forests were catching fire
because of human beings. Eagle knew she had to do something for her people in order
for them to survive.
So, she called for her faithful warriors Owl and Falcon to help her. “Friends”, she said,
“our land is destroyed, and our people are hungry. We need to find a new home with
plenty of food.”
Owl responded, “I have heard of a place far away where the rivers are full of fish and
the skies are clear to soar. But it's a long and dangerous journey, my queen. We will
have to fly over steep mountains, dark caves, and wide dry deserts.”
Falcon responded, “I will fly ahead to scope out the path, but we need to hurry because
our people are dying. The journey will be difficult and we must prepare to face many
challenges.”
And so, the three birds began the long journey. They flew over mountains and valleys
unknown, through heavy storms and under the scorching hot sun. They met many
dangers along the way, like fierce hawks and sharp rocks. But they worked together
and used their skills to overcome them.
One day, they came to a wide desert. There was no food or water there, and the sun
was very hot. Eagle said to her companions, “We need shelter to rest. Let us work
together and combine our strengths to make one.” They nodded in agreement.
