Hace mucho tiempo, la Gallina y el Águila eran amigos. Vivían en paz con todas las otras aves. Ninguna de ellas podía volar.
One day, there was famine in
the land. Eagle had to walk very
far to find food. She came back
very tired.
“There must be an easier way
to travel!” said Eagle.

Un día, la hambruna llegó y el Águila tuvo que caminar muy lejos en búsqueda de comida. Regresó muy cansada. “¡Tiene que haber una forma más fácil de viajar!” dijo el Águila.
After a good night’s sleep, Hen
had a brilliant idea. She began
collecting the fallen feathers
from all their bird friends.
“Let’s sew them together on top
of our own feathers,” she said.
“Perhaps that will make it easier
to travel.”

Luego de un sueño reparador, la Gallina tuvo una idea brillante. Empezó a recoger las plumas que sus amigas aves soltaban. “Cosamos las plumas por encima de las nuestras”, dijo. “Quizás así sea más fácil viajar.”
Eagle was the only one in the
village with a needle, so she
started sewing first.
She made herself a pair of
beautiful wings and flew high
above Hen.
Hen borrowed the needle but
she soon got tired of sewing.
She left the needle on the
cupboard and went into the
kitchen to prepare food for her
children.

El Águila era la única que tenía una aguja en la aldea, así que ella empezó a coser primero. Se hizo un par de alas muy lindas y voló mucho más alto que la Gallina. La Gallina se consiguió la aguja para empezar a coser sus alas, pero se cansó antes de terminarlas. Dejó la aguja encima del armario y se fue a preparar algo de comida para sus hijos.
But the other birds had seen
Eagle flying away. They asked
Hen to lend them the needle to
make wings for themselves too.
Soon there were birds flying all
over the sky.

Pero las otras aves habían visto al Águila irse volando lejos, así que le pidieron a la Gallina que les prestara la aguja para hacerse alas también. Y pronto, el cielo estaba cubierto de muchas aves volando.
When the last bird returned the
borrowed needle, Hen was not
there. So her children took the
needle and started playing with
it.
When they got tired of the
game, they left the needle in
the sand.

Cuando la última ave fue a entregar la aguja prestada, la Gallina no estaba en casa. Así que los hijos de la Gallina tomaron la aguja para jugar con ella. Cuando se cansaron de jugar, dejaron la aguja en la tierra.
Later that afternoon, Eagle
returned. She asked for the
needle to fix some feathers that
had loosened on her journey.
Hen looked on the cupboard.
She looked in the kitchen. She
looked in the yard. But the
needle was nowhere to be
found.

Más tarde, el Águila volvió. Pidió la aguja para coser algunas plumas que se le habían caído durante su viaje. La Gallina fue a buscarla en el armario y no estaba. Buscó en la cocina y en el patio, pero la aguja no aparecía. No estaba en ningún lugar.
“Just give me a day,” Hen
begged Eagle. “Then you can
fix your wing and fly away to
get food again.”
“Just one more day,” said Eagle.
“If you can’t find the needle,
you’ll have to give me one of
your chicks as payment.”

“Sólo dame un día para encontrar la aguja,” la Gallina le rogó al Águila. “Para que puedas arreglar tus alas y volar en búsqueda de comida.” “Un solo día,” dijo el Águila. “Si no encuentras la aguja en un día, tendrás que regalarme uno de tus pollitos como pago.”
When Eagle came the next day,
she found Hen scratching in the
sand, but no needle.
So Eagle flew down very fast
and caught one of the chicks.
She carried it away.
Forever after that, whenever
Eagle appears, she finds Hen
scratching in the sand for the
needle.

Cuando el Águila regresó al día siguiente, vio que la Gallina estaba arañando la tierra, pero la aguja no estaba. Así que el Águila voló muy rápido hacia dónde estaban los pollitos, agarró a uno de ellos y se lo llevó lejos. Después de eso, el Águila siempre encontraba a la Gallina arañando la tierra con sus patas para encontrar la aguja.
As the shadow of Eagle’s wing
falls on the ground, Hen warns
her chicks. “Get out of the bare
and dry land.”
And they respond:
“We are not fools. We will run.”

Y cuando aparece la sombra de las alas del Águila en la tierra, la Gallina les ordena a sus pollitos: “Aléjense del suelo seco y descubierto.” Y ellos le contestan: “No somos tontos, saldremos corriendo.”
