The Peacock and the Crane

Once, there was a beautiful peacock in the woods

Blue bird : “ Wow, peacock!, your feathers are so beautiful!”

Peacock : “ Colorful and shiny, aren’t they gorgeous?”

Red bird : “ yes, they are, I wish I could have colorful feathers just like you”

Peacock : “ Ahahaha, only I the peacock, can have these beautiful feathers. Don’t even
dream about it lalalala”

The peacock went to the riverside for some water

Peacock : “ Who is that?, a long neck and cool legs, looks quite elegant. But I don’t like
the feathers though”

Peacock : “ Hi who are you?, I’ve never seen you around”

Crane : “ I’m a crane”

Peacock : “ a crane, huh?, I’m a peacock, I have feathers that are shiny and gorgeous”

Crane : “ Oh, right. They look good”

The crane walked along the river

Peacock : “ Heh, he wasn’t even surprised!”

Peacock : “ look at all these colors of the rainbow on my feathers. What’s wrong with
yours?. They look grey and dusty!

Crane : “ yes, you are very beautiful, but I don’t envy you at all”

Peacock : “ What? Don’t lie!. How could you not envy these beautiful feathers?”

Crane : “ I can fly up into the sky with my wings. I travel around the world and go
wherever I want”

Peacock : “ Oh I see”

Crane : “ What can you do with those feathers? Grooming and showing off, what
else can you do. It seems you look good on the outside but not inside.”

The peacock felt so ashamed, she folded her feathers

Crane : “ Oh, gee hahahahaha”
