The King said to the man taking care of the eagles, "I want to see their flight. You signal them to fly in the sky. The man did the same.
Both eagles started fluttering as soon as they saw the signal. But where one eagle was touching the heights of the sky, the other flew for some seconds and returned to the branch where it was earlier sitting. The same branch from where he started flying.

King asked the caretaker, "What's the matter where an eagle is flying so well, the other one is not trying to fly?" The caretaker replied, "Yes, this is the problem from the beginning with this eagle, he does not leave this branch." long time ago, someone gifted two eaglets (baby eagles) to a King. The breed of eaglets was very good and the King had never seen such magnificent eaglets before.
