nice falcons(隼) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer(训练隼者) to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see

the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while

was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to

who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying in the sky freely. He felt very surprised.
“It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you
