Once upon a time in the past, a tribe lived in a unique forest. The geography of its surroundings was exceptionally weird. On its east was an ocean that never became placid; and on its west was a gargantuan desert that stretched as far as one could see towards the north. Beyond the desert towards the west tall verdant mountains could be seen. The tribe had a strange custom; whenever a new baby was born in a family, the couple had to carry the new born baby to the temple of the tribal god as a sacred religious rite. It was mandatory for the mother and the father to go to the temple on foot and return the next day. Once a couple was blessed with a baby boy; in compliance with the custom of the tribe, they set out on the mandatory odyssey.The couple had hardly covered a few miles when the desert heat became very oppressive. As they walked an eagle flew over them. Its hungry eyes were in search of food for its fledglings. As it saw the baby in the mother's arms it swooped down over the couple. Like a lightening it pounced upon the mother and snatching the baby, it flew towards its eyrie. Before the mother could realise, it was too late to do anything. She began howling and crying. Now, the husband of this lady was a strong man, physically as well as mentally. He ran towards the direction where the eagle had flown to. He forgot the oppressive heat and thirst. As he reached the foot of the mountain, he found a climbing trail, and began climbing the mountain lustily. Within no time he reached the mountain top. The luck was with him, he found his baby nestled snugly among the fledglings. The man thanked God and picked up the baby. By this time the mother too had climbed half of the mountain when he met her on the way. She was extremely happy to see her baby alive.

Title: The Brave Parents and the Eagle
Once upon a time, there was a forest beyond which lay a vast desert. A husband and wife were walking on the hot sand, and the woman had a small infant in her arms. They were struggling to find their way through the desert, and the sun was beating down on them mercilessly.
Suddenly, from somewhere above them, an eagle flew over them and swooped down to snatch the infant from the woman's arms. The parents were shocked and terrified but didn't lose their courage.
Quickly, the husband took out his sword and shield, which he always carried with him, and charged towards the eagle. The wife followed him, shouting at the top of her voice. The eagle was taken aback by their bravery and flew away, dropping the infant on the sand.
The parents picked up their baby and hugged him tightly, thanking the Gods for their safety. They realized that they needed to find shelter and rest before continuing their journey. They searched for a while and finally spotted a cave in the distance.
They made their way towards it and found that it was a safe place to rest. They drank water from their reserve and ate some food they had brought with them. The parents decided to take some rest before continuing their journey.
The next morning, they woke up and resumed their journey. They knew that the desert was full of dangers, but they were determined to reach their destination. They walked for days, facing various challenges, but they didn't lose hope.
Finally, after a long and tiring journey, they reached their destination. They were welcomed with open arms by their family and friends, who were amazed by their bravery and determination.
