Here is a story for you mate...
In a deep forest, there lived a peacock with beautiful feathers. The peacock is proud of its colorful feathers. The peacock himself admires his own beauty. He will boast that he is the most beautiful bird among all other birds in this world.
One day, a cuckoo bird came that way. The peacock saw the cuckoo bird. The cuckoo bird had black color feathers.
The peacock said to the cuckoo bird, “Your feathers are black! You look ugly!”
Hearing these hurting words from the peacock, the cuckoo bird was not angry.
Instead, the cuckoo bird started singing in his sweet voice. The peacock was amazed by the beautiful song of the cuckoo bird. The peacock also started singing and his voice was ugly. Even the peacock was not able to enjoy the song in his own voice.
The cuckoo bird said to the peacock, “Oh dear peacock, you got colorful feathers, but you cannot sing well. I have black feathers, but I can sing well. We each have our talent as our own gift, and we should appreciate it. We should not take pride and insult others!”
The peacock agreed and it stopped boasting about its beauty.
Moral: Do not compare yourself with others, appreciate your own talent.
The Peacock
Before he got his beautiful tail, the Peacock was an ordinary bird, with a small bunch of feathers.
One day, the Peacock visited Juno, the Goddess of Protection. The Peacock told her that he wished to look grand and beautiful. Juno smiled. He was a good bird and she liked him.
The Peacock then described the long train of brightly coloured feathers that he wanted to trail behind him. He also wished to be the loveliest of all the birds!
To his great joy, Juno agreed.
What a wonderful tail he got! Blue and green with a jewel-like pattern, opening up like a fan when he raised it. Now the Peacock decided to walk like a king! So he held his head high and walked with style!
The common birds looked at him in surprise! Even the pretty long tailed pheasants were jealous!
After showing off his tail, the Peacock decided to fly.
The Peacock was shocked! He simply could not fly. He could take a few flying steps, but nothing more! He sadly realised that had lost a wonderful ability, simply because he had wanted to look good!
