The Peacock And The Crane
Aesop Fable: The Peacock And The Crane
A peacock spreading its gorgeous tail mocked a Crane that
passed by, ridiculing the ashen hue of its plumage and saying,
"I am robed, like a king, in gold and purple and all the
colors of the rainbow; while you have not a bit of color on
your wings."
"True," replied the Crane; "but I soar to the heights of
heaven and lift up my voice to the stars, while you walk
below, like a cock, among the birds of the dunghill."
Fine feathers don’t make fine birds.
