Once a raven saw an eagle carrying a lamb away from the herd. And the raven wanted to become like an eagle.
Noticing a fat ram, the raven fell on him like a stone and dug his claws into its wool.
But the raven was not only unable to lift the ram into the air, but could not even remove its claws from its fur. The feathered predator was overtaken by a shepherd, hit with a stick and killed.
This fable is about people who want to be like those who are stronger than them in everything. Such a desire not only causes suffering, but often leads to death.
