In truth, the eagle could not understand it. 'Why do they insist on the ground when they can fly?'

It was because both the sparrow and tree sparrow grew tired if they flew beyond a certain distance, and this competition was a marathon race.

But since both had short legs, the race took longer than expected.

In the end, the exhausted eagle declared it a tie, and both the sparrow and tree sparrow protested the decision.

The tree sparrow said, 'He's bigger than me and has longer legs, but it's a tie—so I was faster.'

The sparrow also said, 'Hey, I'm heavy because I have a bigger body instead. Meanwhile, you're light.'

The eagle said, 'If you're so upset about it, let's have another match tomorrow. This time, walking until the time limit runs out.'

In the end, this tedious competition was set to continue into the next day.

The next morning, all three were so tired that they just gave the trophy to the pigeon.
