An eagle sat high in the branches of a great oak. She seemed very sad and drooping for an eagle. A kite saw her. "Why do you look so woebegone?" Asked the kite. "I want to get married," Replied the eagle, "And I can't find a mate who can provide for me as I should like.""Take me," Said the kite; "I am very strong, stronger even than you!""Do you really think you can provide for me?" Asked the eagle eagerly. "Why, of course," Replied the kite. "That would be a very simple matter. I am so strong I can carry away an ostrich in my talons as if it were a feather!"The eagle accepted the kite immediately. But after the wedding, when the kite flew away to find something to eat for his bride, all he had when he returned, was a tiny mouse. "Is that the ostrich you talked about?" Said the eagle in disgust. "To win you I would have said and promised anything," Replied the kite. 
Everything is fair in love.
