The Owl and Eagle: A Tale of Wisdom and Speed

In a forest deep and dark,

An owl and eagle lived apart,

They were both strong, fierce and proud,

And their rivalry was quite loud.

One day they met, face to face,

And decided to have a race,

To see who was the fastest bird,

And whose wings could cut the air.

The owl was wise and sly,

And flew with a silent glide,

While the eagle was fast and strong,

With powerful wings that could span.

The eagle took off with great speed,

While the owl flew with strategy,

It knew the shortcuts of the path,

And flew straight to the finish line.

The eagle was shocked to see,

The owl win the race with ease,

It had underestimated its rival,

And had lost its pride and grace.

The moral of this story is clear,

That wisdom is more than power,

And sometimes the slow and steady,

Can outdo the quick and dour.

So let us learn from the owl and eagle,

To use our wits and might,

For the race of life is not about speed,

But about using our talents right.
