The story I'm going to tell you is about a big eagle which usually caught turtles from the lake. Once upon a time, there was a big lake. In that lake, there were many turtles. The eagle didn't even need to make an effort to catch them. He was just resting on the rock near the lake and waiting for the fish and turtles to come out to the water. Then he caught and ate them. Day after day, there were just a few baby turtles left. One day, the mother turtle thought, "Why do I have just a few babies day after day? Where did they go?" She was watching over the situation and saw the eagle was there pretending like a big rock. The eagle was catching the baby turtles when they came out of their nest. Then the mother turtle was thinking of a plan, "How can I kill this eagle?" She was planning to kill him. One day, she saw that the eagle was hiding inside the small cave. When the baby turtles were playing around there, he caught and ate them. Then, the mother turtle hid in the cave secretly. When the eagle was sitting there like a rock and trying to eat the baby turtles, she quickly bit his head and dragged him into the water. That day, the turtle could kill the eagle in the lake, which usually ate her babies.
