声音2：今天的“大杂烩”版块我们将介绍阿尔巴尼亚的一个传说。这个故事讲的是阿尔巴尼亚国名的由来。

Voice 1: One day a boy was hunting in the mountains. He saw a large eagle flying above him. This huge bird landed on a rocky² hill. This is where it had built its home — a nest made of sticks. The eagle was carrying a snake in its beak³. It dropped the snake into the nest. Then it flew away. The boy below saw what happened. So he climbed to the top of the hill. He quietly looked into the nest. There he saw a baby eagle — an eaglet. The eaglet was playing with the snake. But the snake was not truly dead.
