THE MAN, THE MOUNTAIN AND THE EAGLE
sinopsis
Young artistic man HU, since childhood observes in the small window of his country house, huge mountain looking like a shoe, standing in woods.
Every morning, as soon as Man wakes up,he sees this mountain and believes that he can clime on it, jump from it and fly around the globe.
One morning he started climbing on this giant and hears the voice, helping him and giving direction how to clime better.
Man found out that it is a meteorite, which got lost in the Universe, got confused and hit planet Earth upside down millions years ago and got stock in the Earth’s ground.
Since that time, it stays here upside down and can’t move.
Finally Man reached the top but realised, that if he will jump down, he will hit a ground and die.
Now he sits there, getting hungry and hot and cold.
Suddenly, forces of nature began helping him by providing him fresh wind, when he is hot, rain, when he feels thirsty, moon light at night so he will not be afraid and finally, big Eagle flew with the food and offered Hu Man his back, so both will fly around the globe and Hu Man finally will see what is happening in other places of his Earth.
Hu Man partially was disappointed, when he found a lot of poverty, war’s, fights and unfairness.
All could be OK with their flight, but they’ suddenly entered a huge dark and stormy CLOWD, which tryed to destroy and kill both of them, striking Eagle with thunder, bitting with heil and burning with lightening. Eagle lost a lot of feathers, but was able, with the spirit of Hu Man, to put his last strength together and they were able to pass their danger by flying to clear Sky.
Sun warmed them and now both was gliding above mirror smooth ocean.
Eagle was so much in his thoughts after this disastrous situation, that he did not realized that he was in a flight, seeing his reflection down, like in the mirror, that he hit the waters of the ocean and, not being a great swimmer, start to drown.
But Man, being a good swimmer, helped him to get to a surface.
Eagle even got two fishes in his beak. Now both of them were able to reach a ground and time came to say good bye to each other.
They hugged each other and promised to help one another in any situation by special sound.
Hi Man once, in a dream, felt cold, covering himself with the old, blanket with many holes. He dreamed, that tiny birds flew in his window, bringing in their beaks new blanket, decorated with images of sun, moon and stars and this how he fell a sleep.
Wakening up, he realised, that he was really covered with exactly that blanket he was dreaming about.
He could not believed it!
In his morning meditation, he visualised, that he is able to help an old Meteorite to change his position, to turn him again, by “head” up, so he can fly again back to his Universe.
When Hu Man told Mountain about his thought, it started to laugh sarcastically, but Man called his friend Eagle and asked him to call all birds of the planet Earth to fly here, to stick at once all their beaks in to a body of Meteorite and TOGETHER start lifting him and turning him upside down!!!
They almost did it, when suddenly one little bird sneezed and Mountine almost dropped down, but finally this little bird returned in.time and Meteorite get up, as he was a million ears ago and was able, finally, to look at Earth again in his flight to the Universe.
“Now you can realise, what we can do, when we all do something together?” Concluded Man, saying “Good bye” to a Meteorite.
