In a vast and bustling forest, a mighty eagle lived high up in the treetops. This eagle had a reputation for being the greediest bird around, always looking for shortcuts to get what it wanted without putting in any effort.
One sunny morning, the eagle spotted a diligent stork by the river, patiently hunting for its prey. The stork’s long beak was perfectly suited for catching fish, and it was a master at its craft. The eagle, however, had grown tired of hunting for its own food and decided to swoop down and steal the stork’s catch.
With a swift dive, the eagle tried to snatch the stork’s fish right out of its beak. But the stork, sensing the impending threat, moved its head at lightning speed, and the eagle’s sharp talons clamped down on empty air.
Undeterred, the eagle made several more attempts to steal from the stork, but each time, the stork’s long beak protected its precious meal. The eagle grew frustrated and exhausted, but the stork remained patient and focused.
