Fable
The Peacock and The Crane
A Peacock, puffed up with vanity, met a Crane
one day, and to impress him spread his gorgeous tail in the Sun.
"Look,"
he said. "What have you to compare with this? I am dressed in all the
glory of the rainbow, while your feathers are gray as dust!"
The
Crane spread his broad wings and flew up toward the sun.
"Follow
me if you can," he said. But the Peacock stood where he was among the
birds of the barnyard, while the Crane soared in freedom far up into the blue
sky.
Moral
- The useful is of much more importance and value, than the
ornamental.
