Eagle catching fish

Okay kiddo, Have you ever seen an eagle? Yes, they are very huge birds with sharp talons and beaks. They can fly very high in the sky and have very sharp eyesight that can help them spot a fish swimming in the water from a distance.

Now imagine the eagle flying in the sky and suddenly it sees a fish swimming in the water. The eagle is hungry and wants to catch that fish for dinner. So, what the eagle does is, it folds its wings and dives towards the water at a very fast speed.

As the eagle gets closer to the water, it extends its sharp talons and aims for the fish. The eagle's talons are so strong and sharp that they can easily grab the fish.

Then, the eagle uses its strong wings to lift itself out of the water while carrying the fish with it. It then flies away to its nest or a safe spot to eat the fish.

So there you have it, Kiddo, that's how an eagle catches a fish. It's not easy work; it requires a lot of concentration, speed, and strength, just like how you might concentrate to catch a ball or a butterfly with your hands.
