How the Eagle Got It's White Head

Once upon a time deep in a valley where there never had been any sign of man's footprints there lived an Eagle- an Eagle with a gray head, brown and white tail. It was about three and a half to five feet long and its wingspan was seven and a half feet long. He was the king of the air, for he controlled everything there.

One day he was flying over an opening in the forest and he saw a deer lying in the forest bed. So the Eagle circled around the opening looking at the deer. The deer noticed the Eagle but didn't move anywhere. The Eagle started descending to get a little closer look at the deer. After circling for about 10 minutes it decided to land. The Eagle landed 10 feet away from the deer, but the deer still didn't move. The Eagle came right up to the deer and found that the deer was stuck in some twigs, branches of wood. The Eagle then started ripping the branches to get the deer free.

Finally the deer got free, but the Eagle got its head stuck in the process. But the deer was so thankful she decided to get the Eagle out to pay him back for his generosity. Then she went someplace and came back after a while with some white junk.

The deer poured the white stuff on the Eagle's head so it could be slippery. In this way the Eagle got free, but meanwhile the white junk would not come off.

So it is that the Eagle with the white head is named the great American Bald Eagle. It is friendly to all the deer family. And it is still the king of the flying birds.
