The Peacock and The Crane
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful peacock in the woods. The peacock was very proud of its beauty. It would always flaunt its beautiful feathers and make fun of other birds.
One day, the peacock met a crane on the bank of a lake. He said to the crane with a sneer “what a colourless bird you are! Your feathers look grey and dusty. Look at my gorgeous feathers robed in the glory of the rainbow. I look so majestic”
“Yes, you are beautiful. But I don’t envy you at all” said the crane
“What? Don’t lie” said the peacock surprisingly.
“I can fly up in the sky with my wings. I travel around the world and go wherever I want. All you can do is strut about on the ground. Fine feathers alone don’t make fine birds” said the crane and soared up into the blue sky. The peacock was ashamed and kept quiet.
