It was a fine day during
the rainy season. A peacock was dancing happily in a forest.
Suddenly he reminded of his ugly rough voice. His face turned pale and his eyes
started watering
Suddenly he saw a
nightingale sitting on a nearby tree and singing. Listening her, the peacock
lamented “what a sweet voice she has, which everybody loves and praises
but when I utter a sound everybody makes fun of me. How jinxed am I”.
Just then appeared Juna-
wife of Jupiter, the chief of gods. She asked the peacock “why are u sad?”
The peacock sobbed out ” I have got such a beautiful body that is praised
by all but my voice is so bad that everyone laughs at it. So this beauty is
useless”.
The goddess replied ”
you are the only one who is unhappy. Several creatures have been gifted by god
with various gifts like- you the beauty, eagle the strength, nightingale the
sweet voice, so on and so forth.one should not regret on what he/she doesn’t have rather be satisfied with what one has ..
So don’t grumble over your weakness, accept
the way it is and be happy”.
