The Turtle That Tries to Fly

A young turtle lives by a big tree in the forest. Every day, the turtle climbs up the tree and crawls along the branches.

One day, the little turtle crawls out to the end of a low branch. The turtle stops, looks down, and jumps. With her legs flapping around, the turtle lands on the ground with a thump.

The turtle is a little confused, but she gets up and starts climbing the tree again. The turtle crawls along a higher branch. Once again, she pauses and looks down. Then she jumps off the branch, waves around her legs and crashes into the ground.

This time the turtle is very shaken up, but that doesn't stop her. She climbs all the way up to the highest branch on the tree. When the turtle reaches the end of the branch, she looks over and waves at two birds watching her.

The birds look at one another and one of them says, "I think it's time that we told her that she is not one of us!"
