The Eagle and The Kite
THE EAGLE AND THE KITE
An Eagle sat high in the branches of a great Oak. She seemed very sad and drooping for an Eagle. A Kite saw her."Why do you look so woebegone?" asked the Kite."I want to get married," replied the Eagle, "and I can't find a mate who can provide for me as I should like.""Take me," said the Kite; "I am very strong, stronger even than you!""Do you really think you can provide for me?" asked the Eagle eagerly."Why, of course," replied the Kite. "That would be a very simple matter. I am so strong I can carry away an Ostrich in my talons as if it were a feather!"The Eagle accepted the Kite immediately. But after the wedding, when the Kite flew away to find something to eat for his bride, all he had when he returned, was a tiny Mouse."Is that the Ostrich you talked about?" said the Eagle in disgust."To win you I would have said and promised anything," replied the Kite.
Everything is fair in love.
