A long time ago, there was a forest. It was full of wild animals and birds. One day, the weather was very good. A cool wind was blowing and it was going to rain. A peacock was very happy. Soon, it was raining and the peacock started dancing happily. While dancing, he happened to see a crane passing by. The peacock could not help himself and made fun of the crane’s appearance. The peacock said, “Look at yourself. You are plain and dry while I am all colourful.” The crane replied, “That is true but I can fly so high that I can talk to the stars whereas you can only walk on the ground like a common cock among the birds.” The peacock realised that he should not have made fun of the crane.
