overcoming confusion

Deep within a forest,a little turtle began to climb a tree.After hours
of effort,he reached the top,jumped into the air waving his front legs
and crashed to the ground.After recovering,he slowly climbed the
tree again,jumped,and fell to the ground.The turtle tried again and again,
while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad
efforts.Finally,the female bird turned to her mate."Dear,"she
chirped,"I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."
