I May Be Little But I'm A Great Winner!

The Great Chase!! (letter to Mummy)

Dear Mummy Eagle,

I am so sorry I didn't come to that special dinner we have every year. It’s because I never caught a treat for our dinner. Well let me tell you what happened,

I was flying up above the silent, light bluish sky, when I saw a delicious, Grey Squirrel, nibbling a nut. I mumbled to myself “that's his last nut he’s gonna have”. I swooped and landed on a tree brunch silently like a mouse, so he couldn't hear me. But somehow mummy, he started looking up the trees, like he knew someone was watching him. But then, I stood on my position…. I stared at him without blinking….  Finally, I flew down, flying with all my might, chasing him, and we had a big chase mummy Eagle. I flew as fast as I could and he ran as fast as he could with those tiny feet. (He’s so little how could he run so fast with those tiny feet??) Well any ways Mummy, I was flying, and he was climbing & jumping tree to tree. He was so fast. Then he ran and hid in his nest up in a tree. It kind of looked like a Bush with Golden leaves. I swooped and stood on a tree. Then I flew to the his nest and shook it. I shook his tree so hard that he came crashing to the ground. He landed with a THUMP!“ I FINALLY HAVE MY DINNER”! I thought.....And the thing that amazed me was, he didn't just lie down there, He stood up with his two feet and ran and ran and ran. I chased him….. He climbed an enormous tree, and suddenly he leaped to another tree. The tree was a little bit far, but he made it. That was the best leap I have seen… (WOW). Thats one lucky Squirrel. But…. “I'm gonna eat him”, I thought. I flew past the branches, but then… He ran to this little, Hole and hid over there, I sat on a branch and waited. And Waited, and waited, and waited. And he still didn't come out. So I just flew away looking for something else. But their was nothing…. That squirrel nearly got killed…. :( :( :( :( :(  

So that's my story Mummy…….

I'm so sorry…….. Hope you forgive me….

Sincerely

Your Baby Eagle…..
