forest pool but still felt very bored.

One day, he noticed a large eagle flying

overhead. He looked so graceful and flying is
so easy that the turtle decided he would learn
to fly too.

Then the eagle come to rest on a rock near the

pool and the tortoise saw his chance and said:
"Oh handsome eagle, you fly so well. Please
teach me how to fly..."

The eagle was astonished. "What?! Teach you

how to fly? But you have no feather nor
wings!"

Again, the tortoise pleaded, "Oh please, Eagle,

I'm sure I can learn." The tortoise continued to
persuade the eagle to teach him how to fly
until finally, the eagle agrees.

He picked up the tortoise with his large claws

and flew high in the sky. Then, he let go of the
tortoise and told him to flap his legs and fly.

The turtle flapped his legs as hard as he could,

but still, he fell like a stone towards the
ground. Luckily, he fell into the bushes.

He was buried and badly shaken but he had no

serious injuries. Now, he promised not to try
flying again.
