A tortoise begged an eagle to teach her to fly. Though he warned her that flying was quite contrary to her nature, she only pressed her plea more urgently. So he took her in his talons, carried her high into the air, and let her go. She fell upon the rocks and was dashed to pieces.

The fable shows that many, through stubbornness, have disregarded the advice of those wiser than themselves and come to harm.
