THE CROW AND THE PEACOCKS
Crow venturing into a yard where Peacocks used to walk and found several feathers that had fallen from the Peacocks when they were molting. He tied them all to his tail and strutted down towards the Peacocks. When he came near them, they soon discovered the cheat and striding up to him pecked at him and plucked away his borrowed plumes. So, the Crow could do no better than go back to the other Crows, who had watched his behavior from a distance; but they were equally annoyed with him and told him:

MORAL: "IT IS NOT ONLY FINE FEATHERS THAT MAKE FINE BIRDS.”
