The Realization of the Tortoise Story

A long time ago, there was a tortoise who sat on the dusty ground and looked up at the birds flying in the sky. He felt sad because he couldn't fly like them and wanted to be free like them. He thought, "If I could somehow get up in the air, I could fly just as well as those birds." He thought about this for a while, getting hotter under the sun and feeling even more unhappy as he watched the birds.

Then, a big eagle landed on a rock nearby. The tortoise noticed the eagle and had an idea. He thought he could hold onto the eagle's legs while it flew, so he could experience flying too. He tried to get to the eagle, but the eagle was sitting up high and he couldn't reach it. So, the tortoise explained to the eagle how much he wished he could fly.

The eagle listened to the tortoise and decided to help him. The eagle came down and told the tortoise that it would let him hold onto its legs while it flew, just for a little while. The tortoise was excited and held onto the eagle's legs tightly as it soared into the sky. But as they flew higher and faster, the tortoise got scared and couldn't hold on anymore. He fell from the eagle's legs and landed in the woods, luckily on some soft grass. Because of his hard shell, he didn't get hurt badly.

After this experience, the tortoise learned an important lesson. He realized he should be content with who he was and what he could do. He understood that he shouldn't want things that were impossible for him or be jealous of what others could do. So, from then on, the tortoise was happy with himself and didn't compare himself to others anymore.
