There was once a peacock with the most beautiful plumage (feathers). He loved the rain, in fact he enjoyed it so much that he started to sing. It was such a beautiful sight that many animals gathered to see him. A little nightingale heard him and started singing too. It broke the peacock’s trance like state. He heard nightingale’s beautiful voice and instantly felt ashamed, “Why did God not gift me with a beautiful voice too. It’s so unfair, how beautifully she sings. And me? Even I would not like to hear my voice.” He stopped dancing and singing and sat down. He felt very sad.
The nightingale came down to check on him. “We were having such a nice duet. Why did you stop singing and dancing?”, said the nightingale. “How can I sing in your presence? You have the most beautiful voice, people love your singing, I sound hoarse in your comparison.”
“What! Are you serious Peacock? Do you know how magnificent you look when you dance? Do you know most animals of the jungle are here just to have a look at you. Remember Peacock, every animal is unique in his or her own way. Be humble, accept what gifts you have been bestowed with and make the most of what you have.”
Peacock immediately understood how silly he was behaving, comparing himself to others and forgetting his gifts. He started singing and dancing again, and all the other animals too joined in too. Peacock and the nightingale continued their beautiful duet.
Enjoy the edition!
Love
