>A 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 he crashes heavily into the
>ground with a hard knock on his shell. After recovering his
>consciousness, he starts to climb the tree again, jumps
>again, and knocks the ground heavily again.
>
>The little turtle persisted again and again while a couple of
>birds sitting at the edge of a branch, watched the turtle with
>pain.
>
>Suddenly the female bird says to the male, "Dear, I think it's
>time to tell our son he is adopted."
