Crow and The Peacock story: Who is the Most Beautiful Bird?

Once there lived a crow in a banyan tree. It was very black as coal. The crow looked at a swan and thought how beautiful the swan was. She had all white feathers whereas the crow was black. The crow expressed his thoughts to the swan.

The swan replied that according to her the parrot was the most beautiful bird as it had two colors and the swan had just one.

Next, the crow approached the parrot, who simply said that peacock was the most beautiful than him as it was multicolored.

When the crow expressed his thoughts to the peacock, the peacock replied “My dear crow. You are the luckiest bird on this planet as you are never caged. Because of my beauty, I’m trapped in this cage and you are free.”

On hearing this, the crowd thought how foolish he had been and thanked God for making him the way he was.

Moral: Never compare yourself to others. Be happy in what you are and what you have.
