This is a story about a tortoise.
He had all the pace might want.
He had a lovely log to sit on,
juicy apples to ear and a vary shiny shell.
Bur he wasn’t happy.
All day long, he saw an eagke in the sky.
Flying low.
Flying high.
It had golden feathars and great big wings.
“I wish I could fly”, said tortoise.
He climbed onto a rock…
jumped into the air…
and flopped onto his belly.
He climbed up a tree…
jumped into the air…
and landed splat in a puddle.
He called to the eagle.
“Will sky? want to be like you.”
“What will you give me?”
the eagle replied.
“You con have my log and my apples.”
“Very well,” said the eagle.
“I will take you into sky.”
Up and up the eagle rose…
…up through the clouds to the bright blue sky.
