BR-08 The Tortoise and the Eagle


     Today, I read “The Tortoise and the Eagle”. The pictures are so cute. I like this story. The story is about a tortoise. He had everything a tortoise could want. He had a lovely log to sit on, juicy apples to eat and a very shiny shell. But he was not happy. All day long, he saw an eagle in the sky. The eagle had golden feathers and great big wings. The tortoise wanted to fly like the eagle so he tried to fly. He climbed onto a rock and jumped into the air. But he couldn’t and He flopped on to his belly. He tried to fly many times, but he couldn’t. One day, he called the eagle and he said the eagle “I want to fly like you.” The eagle took the tortoise into the sky. However, the tortoise felt very dizzy. He didn’t like it. The eagle said him “ You have no feathers and no winds. Keep your apples and your log. Be happy.” The tortoise thought I like this life style.
