The Turtle was not satisfied with his life. "I'm tired of swimming about in the sea and moving around on the beach. Life is not interesting," he thought. "I want to be able to fly in the air like an eagle."
He spoke to the Eagle about it.
"You're not built for flying," the Eagle told the Turtle. "You don't have any wings."
"Don't worry about that," answered the Turtle. "I've watched how the birds do it for a long time. I've watched carefully how they fly and do things in the air. I think I really got it. Though I don't have wings, I can make my four flippers(鳍足) act like wings of birds in the air, the way I do in the water. Just get me up there, and you'll see I can fly as well as any of the birds—probably even better! Besides, if you carry me as high as the clouds, I will bring you lots of nice pearls(珍珠) from the sea to show my thanks."
The Eagle agreed at last, and carried the Turtle up high into the sky.
"Now then!" cried the Eagle. "Fly!"
But the moment the Turtle was on his own, he fell from the sky. He fell like a stone, and on a stone he landed. He hit it with such force that he broke into little pieces.
