Charlie, Alan, and Lorelei wound up lost on a trip. They stopped to ask for directions. A farmer said, "Haven't been out that way for years, but it's easy. Go straight out this road until you see the big nest, then turn right." Once on the road, they passed a billboard of an eagle. "That must be it," Alan said. "He said the big nest. How about this sign?" Lorelei shook her head. "I'm driving till I see a big nest." "This is ridiculous," Charlie said. "We came from the east, and we're heading south. We'll never get back on track." Lorelei just kept driving -- past the "Big Nest Ranch" and further south, to the boys' chagrin. Suddenly, she slammed on the brakes. "What is it?" the boys exclaimed. Lorelei pointed to a tall tree beside an intersection. There, in the highest branches, was an eagle's nest. To Alan, who expected a bigger sign, it looked puny. Charlie scoffed. "How could that farmer have known that the nest would still be there?" Lorelei turned anyway. Soon enough, they were back on the highway. "How did that happen?" Charlie asked. "I thought we were going the wrong direction!" Lorelei shrugged. "You didn't have a clear sign or logical directions! How did you know it was right?" Alan asked. Lorelei smiled. "I had faith."
