The Peacock and the Crane

A peacock met a crane.

The peacock showed his tail.

"See my bright feathers," he said.

"I am so pretty."

The crane looked at the peacock.

"Your feathers are bright," he said.

"But can you fly?"

The peacock shook his head.

"No, I cannot fly."

The crane spread his wings.

"My feathers are plain," he said.

"But I can fly high."

The crane flew into the sky.

The peacock felt sad.

He learned to value more than looks.

Moral: Inner abilities and qualities are more important than outer appearance.
