Tortoise and Eagle

Tortoise and Eagle had never met, as Eagle lived high in a
tree and Tortoise lived on the ground. However, Eagle heard
how kind and generous Tortoise was, and so one day he
decided to go visit him. Tortoise invited Eagle to stay for
dinner. Eagle sat for several hours, eating the delicious food
and admiring Tortoise’s charming home. Eagle enjoyed the
meal so much that he came back again and again. Each time
he would eat as much as he could.

Eagle’s visits made life difficult for Tortoise. It was expensive

to buy enough food to feed such a large bird. Eagle was also
very messy, especially when eating. And at every visit, he broke something with his large,
clumsy wings. It would take Tortoise a long time to clean up after each visit. Tortoise began to
resent Eagle’s never returning the favor or offering to make a meal for him. But Eagle didn’t
care about the difficulties he was causing: He only cared about himself. “Ha! I’ve eaten
Tortoise’s food, but he will never be able to come and eat any of mine!” he laughed proudly.
One day, Tortoises’ friend, Frog overheard Eagle’s boasting and laughing. He went to Tortoise
and said, “You’re too good-natured and easy-going. Eagle is taking advantage of you.” Then
Frog told him what to do.

On Eagle’s next visit, Tortoise said, “Please, friend, let me give you a pot of food to take home.”
Eagle accepted the offer and waited while Tortoise went into the kitchen for the food. Tortoise
hid inside the pot and called out, “Here’s your food.” Eagle grabbed the pot and flew to his
home in the trees. But when he opened the pot and looked inside, he was surprised to find
only Tortoise. “What? You’re not supposed to be in there! Where is the food?” Eagle asked.
Tortoise replied, “I thought it’d be a nice change to visit your home. I look forward to sharing a
meal with you.” Eagle became angry and said, “You will be the only meal here today, Tortoise!”
He tried to bite Tortoise but hurt his beak on Tortoise’s hard shell. “I see what kind of friend
you are, Eagle. Take me home,” said Tortoise. “I’ll drop you to the ground and smash you to
pieces,” screamed Eagle, and he flew off with Tortoise in his claws. However, Tortoise grabbed
onto Eagle’s leg. “Please let go!” Eagle begged, trying to shake him off. “Only after you bring
5
 me home,” Tortoise replied. Eagle had no choice but to comply. Once safely home, Tortoise
turned and said, “A friend must be willing to give as well as receive. You’re not welcome here
anymore.” Then he went inside, leaving Eagle to think about his selfishness.
