flying turtle

[johno]

the little turtle begins to climb a tree slowly. After long hours of effort,
he reaches the top, jumps into the air waving his front legs, until
lands heavily into the ground with a hard knock over his shell.
After recovering his consciousness, he starts to climb the tree again,
jumps again, and falls to the ground heavily again.
The little turtle insisted again and again after each knock, while a
couple of birds sitting at the edge of a branch, looking at the turtle with
pain..suddenly the female bird says to the male: "listen dear, I think it's
time to tell our little turtle he is adopted."
