- On m’appelle le grand aigle. Quand j’étais tout petit, je n’avais que du duvet blanc sur les ailes. Il ne fallait pas bouger du nid. Je voyais passer les nuages dans le ciel et je me disais: Vivement que je sois grand!
Et maintenant, regardez-moi au-dessus des montagnes, dans le ciel! Je tourne en vol plané en étalant mes longues ailes! Je suis un aigle et je vole même au-dessus des nuages!

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
