What are you thinking about?
I would like to fly just like you do.
Why turtle? why do you always want to fly?
Huh, because, walking is boring.
I'm very slow, you know.
But you haven't answered the questions I've asked you.
Answer them, my turtle.
Ahh Yes, I did.
I want to fly because,
Because, you don't want to walk,
because, you think it's always boring.
Just tell me why you want to fly ?
Oh, Isn't it the same ?
No keep trying again.
Ahh? I want to fly,
because it's not fun being on the ground, you know;
because, I take too long to get to any place and
I get tired often.
Here we go again.
You told me what you don't want.
Try again.
Uhhh.. I want to fly,
because I want to feel free.
I want to see the stars.
I want to see everything from above.
I want to be just like you.
Oh !
If I could just fly at least for a minute.
Come on. Eagle, teach me how to fly.
But you don't have wings.
So how can you fly ?
I could be you.

Ahh, thank you. Oh, thank you ,eagle. Thank you very much.
Oh, Now it's time to get down on the ground, Okay?
No, wait. I see a bunch of turtles over there. I want them to see me. Ahh
Wait,

You wanted to fly just for the fun of it, right?
Yes.
But I'm sure that, they are going to be jealous seeing me.
Jealous of you?
They're your friends, You know. And true friends don't get jealous.
Huh, but I'm unique right?
Don't be such a vain person yo turtle.
Huh, it's the truth.
They will envy me.
They will never get to fly like I do.
Listen, I don't like the way you're talking now.
I'm starting to get tired of you now.
so go and
fly on yourself.
No!
Don't do like that. What about the money ?
I don't care about the money.
If you want them to see you up in the sky,
then show them that you can fly.
Have a nice trip okay?
Have a nice trip.
That must have hurt a lot.
Yes, I did.
But I am glad that my shell saved my life, you know.
Huh,
I feel sorry for you
If you can hardly walk in the ground, what were you doing on the sky?
I learned my lesson. I have to be happy with
what I have.
So my dear kids,
We should be happy with what we have.
