One day the peacock saw a crane on the bank. He looked at it and turned his face away. Then he rudely looked at it and turned his face away. Then he rudely said to the crane, "What a colourless bird you are! Your feathers look so plain and dull."
The crane said, "Your feathers are surely beautiful and mine are not. But so what? With your feathers you cannot fly very high, while my feathers can carry me high up in the sky." Saying this he flew away. The peacock stood foolishly.
