Once an eagle came flying and sat on the branch of a tree that stood by a poll. A tortoise was basking on the bank of the pool. He was very disconnected with his life on the ground. He wished to fly in the air like a bird. So he greeted the eagle and said,’i have a request to make , sire’. ‘What is it?’ asked the eagle. ‘Teach me how to fly. I am fed up with my lowly life on the grounds,’ said the tortoise. The eagle tried to advise the tortoise not to got against the nature as she hasn’t given him any wings to fly. But the silly tortoise wouldn’t listen. So, the eagle couldn’t but agree. The eagle picked the tortoise up in his talons and soared high in the sky. The tortoise felt puffed up. Suddenly the eagle let him go. Down came the tortoise to fall head-long on a rock and be crushed to pieces. The eagle looked down and said, ‘Poor creature, he shouldn’t have gone against nature’
