A crow an eagle drop down from the sky on to a lamb, catch it with its claws, and fly straight back with it to its nest. The crow thought he would like to do the same.
But the lamb was much too heavy for him, and what was worse, the crow's little claws got caught in the lamb's thick fur, so the bird was trapped there .
The shepherd saw the crow, caught it and put it in a cage.
So the one who thought to imitate an eagle ended up being laughed at by everyone.
Moral : Always work according to your capacity.
