I sympathize with the birds They took Tortoise out of kindness but after flying such a long distance they had to fly back home on an empty stomach They were formally invited but the food was eaten by Tortoise I think the birds were very unlucky
2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest and shouldn't cheat others If we cheat others we will be punished in the end b) we shouldn't be carried away by sweet words like the birds c) a leopard can't change its spots nor can Tortoise He was cunning he could never change his personality and behave himself
