One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly,  33   , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more   34   a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out   35    more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds."
The chickens roared with   36   (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above,   37   (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams   38   (know), he was told it couldn"t be done.

In 1955, six years after the founding of People"s Republic of China, Qian Xuesen returned to his motherland. His return brought China the hope of developing space science and its own missiles.

Whenever we made mistakes, he seldom blamed us, but helped us to find out the reason so we could avoid it in the future.”
