A Crow was absolutely satisfied
in life.


But one day he saw a Swan.

"This Swan is so white and I am
so black", the Crow thought.
"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 colors. 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
colors, but the Peacock has
multiple colors.”


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, You are so
beautiful. Every day thousands of
people come to see you. When
people see me, they immediately
shoo 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 the happiest 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 happily
roam everywhere."


LESSON: That’s our problem too.
We make unnecessary
comparison with others and
become sad.


Value the things God has given
you.


Learn the secret of being truly
happy and discard the
comparison which leads only to
unhappiness.
