chaussure femme The Tortoise and the Eagle

A TORTOISE， lazily basking in the sun，  complained to the  sea-birds of her hard fate， that no one would teach her to fly.   An Eagle， hovering near， heard her lamentation and demanded what  reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float  her in the air. “I will give you，” she said， “all the riches of the Red   Sea .” “I will teach you to fly then，” said the Eagle； and taking her   up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let   her go， and she fell on a lofty mountain， dashing her shell to pieces  . The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death： “I have deserved  my present fate； for what had I to do with wings and clouds， who   can with difficulty move about on the earth？'
