The Adventure of the Peacock and the Swan
Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest by a clear lake, there lived a proud peacock and a graceful swan.
The peacock was known for its colorful feathers. It would strut around, showing off its magnificent plumage to all the animals. One day, the peacock saw the swan gliding gracefully on the lake. The swan's pure white feathers and elegant movements caught the peacock's attention.
The peacock decided to challenge the swan. "I am the most beautiful creature in this forest. No one can compare to my colorful feathers," boasted the peacock. The swan just smiled and said, "Beauty is not only about colors but also about grace and kindness."
But the peacock wouldn't listen. It kept showing off. Then, a strong wind came and blew some of the peacock's feathers away. The peacock was embarrassed. The swan, on the other hand, remained calm and glided smoothly on the water. The peacock realized its mistake and learned that true beauty comes from within.
