There lived a crow on a treetop. Every day he used to watch with utter wonder the acts of an eagle.

The eagle had a nest high up on a mountain. He used to swoop down from there get hold of a lamb and fly up again, all in one go.



The crow was amazed by the feat of the eagle.

One day, he was excited that he wanted to imitate the eagle. So up he flew as high as he could. From there, he began to swoop down. He came down and down. But alas, he could not control himself. He crashed on the ground and broke his beak.


Moral of the story: Thoughtless imitation will end in danger.
