The Ostrich and the Vulture

In a faraway land, a tall tree bears golden apples that give the eater the power to fly.

These apples only grow on the highest point of the tree.

An ostrich named Struza treks through the woods in search of the powerful tree.

A vulture named Grib flies through the woods. He also searches for the apples.

"Where are you going?" Grib asks the ostrich.

"I'm on my way to find the golden apples," she says.

Grib flies away from Struza, but follows her without her seeing him.

Struza finds the tree. Because Grib has followed her, he also knows the location.

Struza struggles to reach the top. She tries to jump and fly but cannot reach the apples.

She sees Grib flying to the top, taking one of the apples.

"Hey!" says Struza. "Could you pass one to me?"

"Why would I do that?" asks Grib.

"I can't reach it," says Struza. "I can't fly as high as you, nor can I climb."

"If I can reach the top of this tree without any help, then so can you. "

"But I already told you that I'm not built like you!"

"Not my fault if you can't fly."

"Ostriches usually can't fly, but if you help me have an apple, then I'll fly like you."

"I'm not sure I like the idea of that."

"Why do you need the apple anyway? You already have the power to fly. You need more power?"

"I just need more power to make sure my flying abilities don't get taken away."

Grib flies away with faster flight than before. Struza stays on the ground.
