After hearing these words, the little sparrow felt defiant, thinking: When I can fly as high as the eagle one day, I will let you see. At that time, nobody dares to look down on me. Finally, the little sparrow set out. It flew over villages and rivers, and flew higher and higher. Just while it was going to reach the height it had dreamed of, it was exhausted. It looked down and could find nowhere to take a rest, because there was only a roaring river below. In the end, the sparrow ran out of its strength and fell straight into the water.
