THE FABULOUS EAGLE
The process of Change

The eagle has the longest life-span of its' species... It can live up to 70 years, but to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision In its' 40's.

Its' long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food. Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent. Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest and make it difficult to fly.

Then, the eagle is left with only two options: Either die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days. The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest.

There, the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out. After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its' talons.

When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers. And after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of rebirth and lives for... 30 more years.

NASRUDDIN SAYS INSHA ALLAH

Nasruddin was determined to be decisive and efficient. One day he told his wife he would plough his largest field on the far side of the river and be back for a big dinner. She urged him to say, "Insha Allah! If Allah is willing."

He told her whether Allah was willing or not, that was his plan. The frightened wife looked up to Allah and asked forgiveness.

Nasruddin loaded his wooden plough, hitched up the oxen to the wagon, climbed on his donkey, and set off.

But within the short span of a day the river flooded from a cloudburst and washed his donkey downstream, and one of the oxen broke a leg in the mud, leaving Nasruddin to hitch himself in its place to plough the field.

Having finished only half the field, at the sunset he set out for home exhausted and soaking wet.

The river was still high so he had to wait until long past dark to cross over.

After midnight a very wet but much wiser Nasruddin knocked at his door. Who is there asked his wife.

I think it is me, Nasruddin, he replied, Insha Allah! if Allah is willing!
