- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the second level. "Based on a fable by Aesop." This telling of the fable takes an unusual turn. The tortoise offers his apples and his log as payment for the eagle to take him up in the sky. Up in the air, the tortoise looks down, gets dizzy, and asks to be taken back down. The kindly eagle takes him back and says "You're not made for flying. Be happy." The tortoise smiles, sits on his log, and eats his apples. He no longer wants to fly. This tortoise has an outsized and stylized head. The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
