What does the fable of the eagle and the crow understand?

I understand that imitating others but doing what I can't do will not only bring me no benefits, but also bring me misfortune and be laughed at by the world.

The eagle flew straight down from the high rock and took a lamb. A crow was envious after seeing it and wanted to imitate it. So, he pounced on the back of a ram, desperately trying to take it away, but his paw was entangled in the sheep and could not be pulled out.

Although he kept flapping his wings, he couldn't fly. The shepherd saw it, ran to catch him and cut a feather from his wing.

In the evening, he took the crow home and gave it to his children. The children asked what kind of bird it was, and he replied, "It is indeed a crow, but he insists that he is an eagle."
