Fable
A Raven and A Swan
A Raven, which you know is black as coal, was
envious of the Swan, because her feathers were as white as the purest snow. The
foolish bird got the idea that if he lived like the Swan, swimming and diving
all day long and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water, his
feathers would turn white like the Swan's.
So,
he left his home in the woods and fields and flew down to live on the lakes and
in the marshes. But though he washed and washed all day long, almost drowning
himself at it, his feathers remained as black as ever. And as the water weeds,
he ate did not agree with him, he got thinner and thinner, and at last he died.
Moral
- A change of habits will not alter nature.
