The Story Of A Man And An Eagle (Folklore From Albania) - It was a very hot day. A young man was hunting in the jungle. He had been looking for some animals for hours. Sadly, he did not see any of them.
The young man was a good hunter. He was very skillful in using his bow and arrows. He never missed his target. Unfortunately, that day was not his lucky day. He could not find any animals.
"Where are they? Where did they go?" asked the young man to himself.
He kept on looking for the animals. He walked and walked until he was lost. He arrived in the mountains. It was getting dark, the young man wanted to find a good place to rest.
"I cannot continue now. It's too dangerous, I have to find a safe place to spend the night. Tomorrow morning, I will find out which way to go home," thought the man.
While the young man was looking for a safe place, suddenly he saw an eagle flying above him. The eagle was so big. The young man saw something in the eagle's beaks. It was a big snake.
The young man was so curious. He care fully followed the eagle. The eagle landed at a crag. It had a nest in that crag. A moment later, the eagle flew and left the snake in its nest.
The young man carefully climbed the crag. He found the eagle's nest. He slowly approached the nest He saw an eaglet was playing with the snake. The young man felt there was something strange. He carefully looked at the snake.
"Gosh! The snake is still alive!" screamed the young man.
Yes, the snake was still alive.
Suddenly it stirred and revealed its fangs. The snake was ready to pierce the eaglet with its deadly venom.
The young man immediately took out his bow and arrow and killed the snake. After the snake was dead, the young man teok the eaglet and started to find his way home.
While he was walking, suddenly he heard the eagle screaming. Yes, the eagle was able to talk to humans!
"Hey! What are you doing with my child? Bring back my child now!" screamed the eagle.
"This eagle is mine! I saved it from the snake. Thanks to me, your child is safe and alive." said the young man.
The eagle looked so sad. "I did not know the snake was still abve. Listen, please give back my • child. As a return. I will give you rewards." said the eagle.
"What rewards?" asked the young man. "You will have my power. You can see sharply and you will have powerful wings." said the eagle.
"How?" asked the young man. He did not understand what the eagle meant.
"When my child is grown-up. I will ask him to be your guardian. He will always fly above you. Guard you and tell you what he sees," said rlie eagle.
The young man agreed. He gave back the eaglet to his mother. After the eaglet grew, he always flew above the man. The eagle always told him what he saw.
With the help of the eagle, the man was able to kill some beasts in the jungle. He was also able to kill the enemies who attacked his homeland.
