An Eagle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hovering near, heard her lamentation and demanded what
reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float
her in the air. "I will give you," she said, "all the riches of the Red
Sea." "I will teach you to fly then," said the Eagle; and taking her
up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let
her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces
. The Tortoise exclaimed in the moment of death: "I have deserved
my present fate; for what had I to do with wings and clouds, who
can with difficulty move about on the earth?'

The Flies and the Honey-Pot
A NUMBER of Flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had
been overturned in a housekeeper's room,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and placing their feet in
it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the
honey that they could not use their wings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nor release themselves,
and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed,
"O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we
have destroyed ourselves."
