Fly

Once, there was an eagle named Sly, who eagerly wanted to fly high across the sky. So he wished for a fairy to fulfill his longings, but he still was unable to spread his wings. So Sly relied much on his feet to carry him, but his mind still dreamt to fly though the skyline seam. The crabs and the crocs laughed at him so hardly. Everyday, he was bullied so harshly. For, he walked too slow and he swam just the same. Everyday, he braved the bullying and shame; And so, in desperation, he found a way to float. One day, he created a lovely boat. But the crabs and the crocs found a way to sink his boat. They bore holes on his boat so it could not stay afloat. In the face of great danger, his fairy wished him to once more try, so he flapped his wings hard and flew high across the sky.
