The Cocky Crow

Once upon a time, in ancient times, there lived a crow in the wilderness. He lives together with other crows. One day, the crow found a beautiful peacock feather loss. Even though it's only a feather fall, the feathers still look beautiful.

"The beauty of these peacock feathers. I will wear these peacock feathers to make them look more beautiful. In this way I can make friends with peacocks. The crow then wears the peacock feathers to the body. He then flew to find a flock of peacocks. Not long after the crow managed to find a place to live a peacock herd.

The crow starts to live together with the peacocks. Initially the crow was well received by the flock of peacocks, but gradually the flock began to get annoyed with the arrogance of the crow. They then away from the crow. Not long after, the peacock finally realized that the arrogant was just a crow disguised as a peacock. Then the flock of the peacock drove him away "It turns out that You are just a crow disguised as a peacock. Get away from here. You don't deserve to live with us. "

Obviously the crow felt angry with the expulsion of the peacock. Having no other choice, so go the crow to get back together with the crow flock, his countrymen. But unfortunately, the crow's body is still attached to the peacock feathers, as a result the flock of crows will not accept its presence because it is thought to be a peacock. "Who are you, peacock? Your place is not here, go far away from our place! "

Angered, annoyed, and at the same time sad turbulent in the crow's chest. Because he has no friends, he feels that his life is meaningless. Finally, the desperate crow tried to end his life by plunging himself into the bottom. Immersed in the bottom, finally died the arrogant crow.
