A peacock was very unhappy with his
ugly voice, and he spent most of his days complaining about it.
"It's true that you cannot
sing", said the fox. "But look how beautiful you are!"
"Oh, but what good is all this
beauty," moaned the disheartened bird. "I have such an unpleasant
voice!"
"Listen, said the fox. Each
one has their own special gift. You have such beauty, the nightingale has his
song, the owl his eyes, and the eagle his strength. Even if you had an eloquent
voice, you would still complain about another thing".
Moral: Do not envy the gifts of
others. Make the most of your own.
