3月30日故事:The Tortoise and the Eagle乌龟与鹰

:qq66] [size=4][color=#ff0000]please read the story carefully,and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky![/color][/size]


      A tortoise, lazily basking in the sun, complained to the sea-birds of her hard fate, that no one would teach her to fly.
      An Eagle, 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?'
     If men had all they wished, they would be often ruined. **** Hidden Message *****

in this story the tortoise is the man who is John-a-dreams  in real life ,i hope everyone don't follow the example of  the tortoise, he does't think about his abilty,although we often say that
"Every French soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack", one devoiod of desire for gains fame, or success will never amount to anything."but we must do what we can catch
