An eagle had his nest high up on a mountain wall. At the foot of the mountain, there was a tree in which lived a crow.
One day the eagle falled down from his nest and picked up the young of the sheep from the earth. Then he flew high up and returned to his nest.
The crow saw that the eagle had performed the wonderful feat in one go. He thought, “If the eagle can perform this feat, why can’t I ?”
So one day the crow flew as high as he could. Then he falled down with great force. But instead of landing upon a lamb, he dashed against the ground. His head and beak cracked. That was the end of him.
Moral: Thoughtless imitation is foolish.
