143. Of the Tortoise, and the Eagle.
1. A Tortoise intreated an Eagle, that she would teach her to flie.
2. But when she told her, that this was quite different from
her nature, she pressed upon her the more with intreaties.
3. Therefore she took her in her tallons, and bare her up a great height:
and thence let her down.
4. But she fell upon rocks, and was dashed to pieces.
Mor. The fable signifieth, that many have done themselves hurt, who
in their endeavours have not hearkened to them that were wiser.
