Assignment Task:
There was once a man who had never seen an eagle. One day a magnificent eagle landed on his windowsill, and when he saw it, he exclaimed, "What an ugly creature!" The man grabbed the eagle and pulled it into his house. "First, I'm going to fix that curved beak of yours." He used a file to remove the hook in the eagle's beak. "Those claws are vicious looking," the man said as he clipped the eagle's claws until there was little left. When he finished, the man said, "There, now you look better." And he put the bird back on his open windowsill and shooed it away. You can imagine how long the newly trimmed eagle lasted in the wild. (Author Unknown)
