The Peasant And The Eagle
Aesop Fable: The Peasant And The Eagle
A peasant found an Eagle captured in a trap, and much
admiring the bird, set him free. The Eagle did not prove
ungrateful to his deliverer, for seeing the Peasant sitting
under a wall which was not safe, he flew toward him and
with his talons snatched a bundle from his head.
When the
Peasant rose in pursuit, the Eagle let the bundle fall again.
Taking it up, the man returned to the same place, to find
that the wall under which he had been sitting had fallen to
pieces; and he marveled at the service rendered him by the
Eagle.
