Flight of the Eagle
1 Ten-year-old Pedro was really annoyed. “Let me see! You know how much I
don’t like waiting! It is like torture to me!”
2 His older brother Brad was looking through the binoculars. He was
ignoring Pedro.
3 “I had to wait for you to get out of bed this morning,” Pedro reminded Brad.
“We had to get here at Eagle Mountain early. Now I am shivering here on top of
this mountain and I cannot see a thing!”
4 Thirteen-year-old Brad sighed and handed the binoculars to Pedro. “Look at
the top of the pine tree across the valley,” he said.
5 Pedro grabbed the binoculars and adjusted them. He could not wait to see
the eagle.
6 “I see it!” he cried. “No matter how many times I see one, I still get chills.”
7 Pedro watched silently. Then he said, “Did you know that the bald eagle
became our national symbol in 1782?”
8 “Yes, my teacher told us that in class,” Brad replied. “I think it is funny that
Benjamin Franklin was against it.”
9 Pedro lowered the binoculars. He glanced at Brad and asked,
“Really? Why?”
10 Brad continued. “Franklin thought that the turkey was best. The turkey was
brave and clever. He said that the eagle had bad moral character. It stole fish
from other birds.”
11 Pedro made a face. “The thought of eating the symbol of America for
Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t sound very appealing,” Pedro said.
12 Then he saw the eagle fly. “Look, it is taking off. Its wings move so slowly.
I can’t believe it can fly!”
13 Brad watched as the bird flew. Then he said, “When Franklin was alive,
there were thousands of bald eagles in our country. By the 1960s, there were
only five hundred nesting pairs, or male and female eagles that build nests
together and have babies.
14 “I read about that,” Pedro responded. “Pollution and poisons killed many
of them. Since then, people have worked to save eagles. Now there are five
thousand nesting pairs.”
15 Brad punched Pedro’s arm lightly. “Good job,” he said. “You know your
stuff, little brother. Now let’s hike down to the lake.”
16 “Thanks,” Pedro said proudly. “Here, you can take a look at the eagle as
we walk. Let me know if anything happens. Maybe we can see it catch fish. If it
does, you have to promise to let me see.”
17 Pedro smiled as he followed his brother down the trail. He was glad that
they did things together.
What is another place where the brothers would probably enjoy going?
