One
day, an Eagle flew to the branch of a tree. The Eagle was very sad. A Kite saw
her and asked, “Why are you sad?”
The
Eagle replied, “I am unable to find a strong husband for myself.”
The
Kite said to the Eagle, “I am very strong. I am even stronger than you. You can
marry me.”
The
Eagle asked the Kite, “Will you be able to get me food to eat?” To prove
his strength, the Kite said to the Eagle, “I can carry an Ostrich in my claws.
If you marry me, I will get you an Ostrich to eat.” The Eagle happily agreed to
marry the Kite. One day, after their marriage the Eagle asked the Kite to bring
her an Ostrich to eat. The Kite flew into the air and brought a dirty, stinking
rat, which was lying on the ground, for the Eagle.
The
Eagle was unhappy to see the rat and said to the Kite, `You have not been able
to fulfill your promise of getting me an Ostrich.”
The
Kite replied, “To be able to marry you, I would have promised and said
anything.”
