However, as they tied ropes around their waists and slowly descended from the cliff edge to the cave, the sight before them was heartbreaking. Two eagles remained in the cave: an elderly, frail old eagle and a fledgling. They had escaped the flames, but their charred carcasses lay scattered around them. Apparently, to protect the pair, the other eagles chose to remain, shielding themselves from the flames and ultimately perishing. But the powerful red eagle, despite facing mortal danger, remained at the cave entrance, guarding the safety of the two. It even fought with humans to provide food for the young and old, ensuring their survival.
Humans are not plants, so how can we be heartless? Furthermore, this mountain eagle understood the feelings of family affection and gratitude. When it saw the elderly and children being shot, it flew back to its cave without hesitation to protect them, engaging in a desperate struggle with its enemies. This act not only shocked the villagers but also deeply touched their hearts.
The Great Red Eagle bravely protects her young, regardless of her own safety, demonstrating a profound maternal love. Her actions teach us that love is selfless and can transcend all difficulties and dangers. This kind of affection exists not only between humans; the animal world is also filled with love and care.
