A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely satisfied in
life. But one day he saw a swan.
"This swan is so white," he thought, "and I
am so black. This swan must be the happiest bird in the world."
He expressed his thoughts to the swan.
"Actually," the swan replied, "I was feeling
that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two Colours.
I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation."
The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot explained,
"I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock. I have only two colours,
but the peacock has multiple colours."
The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that
hundreds of people had gathered to see him. After the people had left, the crow
approached the peacock.
"Dear peacock," the crow said, "you are so
beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me,
they immediately shoot me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the
planet." The peacock replied, "I always thought that I was the most
beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am
entrapped in this zoo. I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have
realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for past few
days I have been thinking that if I were a crow, I could roam
everywhere."
we always underestimate our virtue and overestimate others.every
happy creature is unhappy in its own way.
