Reproduction of a chapter from the book, “Journey Through the Jungle”.

In a vibrant forest, a humble peacock lived among the trees. His beautiful feathers were admired by all the animals, but he never let the compliments go to his head.

A jealous crow lived nearby and couldn’t stand the attention the peacock received. He thought of a plan to embarrass the peacock and make himself the centre of attention.

The crow found some colourful feathers that had fallen from the peacock’s tail and stuck them onto his own wings. He flew to the gathering place of the animals and proudly showed off his new look.

The animals were not impressed and laughed at the crow’s attempt to imitate the peacock. The crow felt embarrassed and flew away in shame.

The humble peacock approached the crow and said, “My friend, you are unique in your own way. Embrace your true self, and others will appreciate you for who you are.”

The crow realized his mistake and removed the colourful feathers. He learned a valuable lesson: be proud of who you are, and others will recognize your true worth.
