The Three Tradesmen

  A Tortoise desired to change its place of residence, so he

  asked an Eagle to carry him to his new home, promising1 her a rich

  reward for her trouble. The Eagle agreed and seizing the Tortoise

  by the shell with her talons2 soared aloft. On their way they met

  a Crow, who said to the Eagle: "Tortoise is good eating." "The

  shell is too hard," said the Eagle in reply. "The rocks will soon

  crack the shell," was the Crow's answer; and the Eagle, taking the

  hint, let fall the Tortoise on a sharp rock, and the two birds

  made a hearty3 meal of the Tortoise.

  Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions4.
