    The Peacock and the Hawk

    One day, the peacock spread its tail feathers. The daylight made its beautiful and colorful feathers look even more splendid. The peacock, facing the hawk, who was sitting opposite, said proudly, “Look at how beautiful and elegant I am. And look at your dirty feathers.” The hawk smiled and said, “You say this? Then come…” The hawk shook its feathers and flew into the sky. When the peacock spread its feathers, nothing special happened because it couldn’t fly. While the hawk could soar to great heights in the sky.

     

    Moral: That’s why they say: The usefulness of things is better than their beauty
