The Tale of the Proud Turtle

A turtle living by a lake dreams of flying in the sky. It seeks help from a pair of doves, who agree to help it fly by holding a stick that the turtle bites onto. The turtle is warned not to open its mouth during the flight. As they soar, the turtle becomes proud and opens its mouth to respond to a compliment, causing it to fall.
