A time had an unfulfilled desire for a very long time. One of these forefathers had won a hare in the running race. Remembering that, the tortoise desired to achieve something new.    It was not wrong to desire to achieve something new. But it didn't know what to achieve. After a long thinking, it decided to fly in the sky.    The tortoise knew that it could not fly itself. So it decided to fly with the help of someone, just like the man flying through the aeroplane.    As it was a birds sanctuary, several types of birds came there The tortoise planned to achieve its aim by befriending any of those birds.    So the tortoise approached a bird and told, "You are very beautiful. Where are you from??   The bird was boundlessly Happy to hear that it was beautiful and asked, "Am I really beautiful?"   "Yes, It's true. I want to present a gift for your beauty. "The bird eagerly looked at the tortoise.     


 Surely I want to present you. But it is not here. "Okay. where is it?"   "I will show you where it is. If you carry me, I will show it. "    "Okay. Get on my back and hold me tightly when I fly. "    The tortoise sat on the bird and the bird flew in the sky carrying the tortoise.    After flying a very long distance the bird asked, "How far should we have to fly further?"   "Just a small distance, "said the tortoise.    But the bird got bored and said, "I cannot carry you. Have we reached the place?"asked irritatingly.    "Foolish bird. There is no gift for you. Just to fly in the sky, I lied to you, "said the tortoise. The bird got more irritated.   "You are a cheat. You may not offer me a gift. But I want to reward you a gift, "said the bird.    The tortoise eagerly said, "How good you are!Give me the gift. I take it. "   "Have the gift, "saying so, the bird shook its body. The tortoise fell down on a rock and died.
