How cute do I look when I’m playing naked? How beautiful are my pensions? Don’t you have any of these?” she mocked the other birds. Even though all the birds were very saddened by the words of the peacock, they could not do anything but stood and watched helplessly.

You don’t have any of these, do you?” mocked the stork. The stork replied, “No matter how beautiful your tail is, you can’t fly in the sky like me, can you? Are you the only one who weighs you? Always suffer from not being able to carry it. Why don’t you think about it?” she said. Proud of the answer given by the stork, the peacock left the place with its tail.
