THE EAGLE - NOT THE OYSTER!
When God made the oyster, He h=guaranteed him absolute economic and social security.He built the oyster a house - a shell - to protect him from his enemies. He dwells in the bottom of the sea and when hungry, the oyster simply opens his shell and food rushes in for him. He has no worries. He doesn’t fight anybody. He is not going anywhere unless the tide plunges him along.
But when God made the eagle, He gave him the sky as his domain. The eagle then nested on the highest crag, where the storms threaten every day. For food he flies through miles of rain, snow, sleet and hot desert winds. He screams his defiance at the elements, and goes about his own business; building his own life. He mates for life. When aroused, he is a vicious foe to his enemies.
THE EAGLE, NOT THE OYSTER, IS THE EMBLEM OF AMERICA.
