Bu yazımızda, “Kaplumbağa ile Kartal” olarak bildiğimiz “The Tortoise and the Eagle” hikayesinin basit bir sürümünü derledik.

Once upon a time, there was a tortoise. The tortoise was slow but happy. One day, the tortoise saw an eagle. The eagle could fly high in the sky.

The tortoise said, “I want to fly like you.” The eagle looked at the tortoise and said, “But you are a tortoise. You cannot fly.”

The tortoise asked, “Can you help me fly?” The eagle thought about it. Then, the eagle said, “Okay, I will help you.”

The eagle picked up the tortoise with its strongclaws. They flew up, up, up in the sky. The tortoise was scared but excited.

They flew over trees and rivers. The tortoise saw the world from the sky. It was beautiful. But the tortoise was heavy, and the eagle was tired.

Suddenly, the eagle said, “I must let you go.” The tortoise was afraid. “Please, no!” said the tortoise. But it was too late.

The eagle let go of the tortoise. The tortoise landed on the ground. Luckily, it was safe, but it learned an important lesson.

The tortoise learned to be happy with what it can do. The tortoise never forgot its advanture in the sky, but it was happy to be on the ground again.
