Although an eagle had changed into a cushat, it forgot this while flying.
Seeing a flock of birds in the woods, it could not help diving down, calling out like an eagle.
Hearing the sound of an eagle, the birds were so scared they did not dare to move. A crow noticed the flying bird's claws, beak, and feathers were just like a cushat's, not an eagle's, except for its voice. It ran out and shouted to call on the birds to drive away this fellow who was making fun of them.
The cushat, lacking the beak and claws of an eagle, could not fight back. It had to hide in the woods and suffer the censure and attacks from the flock of birds.
