Eagle & Oyster

When God created the oyster, He guaranteed its absolute economic and social security.  He built the oyster a house to protect it from its enemies.  When hungry, the oyster simply opens its shell and food rushes in.  The oyster has freedom from want.

But, when God made the eagle, He declared, "The blue sky is the limit; build your own house!"  So, the eagle built on the highest mountain.  Storms threaten every day.  For food, the eagle flies through miles of rain, snow & wind.

The eagle, not the oyster, is the emblem of the United States.
