They reached ONE THOUSAND METERS and ALMOST ALL WERE SEEN FLYING IN PAIRS. They continued TWO THOUSAND METERS, and SOME FELL BEHIND, UNABLE
TO PASS THE SMALLER MOUNTAINS.
The AIR at THREE THOUSAND METERS was MUCH THINNER, and many VALLEY and
COASTAL BIRDS WEAKENED for LACK of OXIGEN.
At FOUR THOUSAND METERS the SEVERE EFFECTS of the HIGH ALTITUDE FORCED
OTHER BIRDS to GIVE UP. Nevertheless, they felt PROUD FOR HAVING PARTICIPATED in this HONORABLE EVENT ON BEHALF OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES.
NOW ONLY THE STRONGEST and MOST FIT BIRDS of the kingdom REMAINED in the competition.
FIVE THOUSAND METERS coincided with DESOLATE, SNOWCAPPED MOUNTAINS, and
GLIMPSES OF THE ETERNAL SNOWS OF OTHERS IN THE HORIZON; the EAGLES,
FALCONS, HAWKS, KESTRELS and others of these same families STILL COMMANDED the
CELESTIAL ALTITUDES, whereas FAMILIES OF OWLS HA REACHED THEIR LIMITS and were left to observe these and higher limits of the sky.
At SIX THOUSAND METERS ALMOST ALL BIRDS HAD BEEN LEFT BEHIND EXCEPT the
EAGLE and the KONDOR who CONTINUED FLYING HIGHER with GRANDEUR and
SERENITY CHARACTERISTIC OF THEIR LINEAGE.
When they reached SEVEN THOUSAND METERS and taller snowcapped mountains, the EAGLE's
BEAUTY BEGAN TO DARKEN from the distance and AS DID HIS CHANCES TO REIGN THE KINGDOM.
The KONDOR CONTINUED, CALM and UNAFFECTED, and SMILED an inner smile as HE CELEBRATED HIS PRESENCE AMONG THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE EARTH.
