Once upon a time there was an eagle in the world. He was big and strong. The eagle flew high over the fields, forests and mountains, looking out for prey.

But one day, when an eagle was flying over one village, a shot rang out suddenly and the eagle fell to the ground.

A bleeding eagle was spotted by a sparrow that flew past.

Sparrow was very scared and wanted to fly away.

“Help me!” – Whispered the eagle. “The hunter shot me and hurt my wing.”

“But you will eat me,” answered the sparrow. “No, I won’t touch you!” The eagle said, barely audible. “I give you the word of the eagle!”

Sparrow nibbled the medicinal herbs of the plantain and tied up the wound to the eagle. Then the sparrow flew to the far spring and

carried the spring water in the dipper to the eagle. And also, the sparrow dragged the pieces of meat that he stole at the village feast.

So the sparrow courted an eagle until it fully recovered and by and by was fully grown.

“Thank you, little Sparrow!” Said the eagle, saying goodbye. “From now on you are my greatest friend.”

And the eagle flapped its wings and flew away into the distant blue sky…

Once, a sparrow flies through the garden. Chirps, enjoys the sun.

Suddenly, a cat! Jump! Grabbed sparrow, squeezed in sharp claws, going to eat him.

And then, like a whirlwind flew. This eagle saw from the sky, in what a trouble a sparrow fell and rushed to help him.

Like a stone, an eagle fell on a cat. He beats her with his powerful wings, scratching with sharp claws, pecks a cat with a curved, hooked, beak.
