You can’t have it all
There was a beautiful peacock out on a rainy day. He looked at himself in a puddle (水坑). He said, “How beautiful I am!” But when he heard his own voice, he became sad. It was rough (粗哑的). Then, he heard a nightingale sing in the trees.
Listening to the nightingale’s sweet voice, he began to cry. “Why don’t I have such a beautiful voice?” At that moment, the goddess Juno appeared. She went to the peacock.
“Why are you upset?” Juno asked.
The peacock told her about his rough voice. “Why does the nightingale get such a beautiful voice? My voice sounds like rocks rolling over the sand.”
Juno petted the peacock. Then she said, “Every living thing is special in its own way. The nightingale has a beautiful voice, but you have beautiful colors! The nightingale told me he wants to look like you. He is sad about his brown color.”
The peacock stood up a little straighter. “Hmm, maybe you’re right,” he said. “I have the prettiest feathers (羽毛) in the forest. The nightingale has the prettiest voice. We are both great in our own ways.”
The peacock didn’t worry about his voice anymore. Instead, he remembered what made him special.
