The crow felt very jealous.\u00a0 He wanted to be as beautiful and happy as the peacock.\u00a0 His contentment and beauty could not be compared to the peacock\u2019s.\u00a0 So he had an idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day I\u2019ll watch this peacock dance and whenever he drops any feathers, I will pick them up and keep them.\u00a0 When I have enough, I will stick them on myself and become as beautiful as a peacock\u201d, he thought to himself.<\/p>\n<p>The grumpy crow followed the peacock wherever he went and picked up every dropped feather.\u00a0 One day he thought he finally had enough feathers.\u00a0 So he stuck them inside his own feathers and started dancing with joy.\u00a0 Now he could finally be as happy and beautiful as the peacock.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, the crow searched for the peacock again.\u00a0 He crept closer and found him with a group of peacocks, dancing.\u00a0 He felt even more jealous.\u00a0 So with his new feathers, he joined in the dance.\u00a0 The peacocks soon realized he was not one of them.\u00a0 Suddenly all the dancing stopped.\u00a0 The peacocks spoke to the crow, \u201cWhy do you want to act like a peacock?\u201d<\/p>\n<h5>\u201cYou are beautiful and happy!\u201d replied the crow. \u201cI want to be like you!\u201d<\/h5>\n<p>The peacocks replied, \u201cEvery one of us has special qualities.\u00a0 You may not look or act like us, but you have gifts like an intelligent brain that we do not have.\u00a0 So be satisfied, crow!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The grumpy crow went home and joined his own friends.\u00a0 The oldest and wisest crow said to him, \u201cSon, I hear you have learned an important lesson.\u00a0 You may not look like a peacock, but you are special in your own way.\u00a0 Be yourself and be happy with who you are.\u00a0 That is the only way to be truly happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I used to be like that crow.\u00a0 When I was much younger, I felt that everyone else was more beautiful than I was.\u00a0 And I was not happy.\u00a0 Now I am much older.\u00a0 I realize that beauty comes from the inside and that I am a beautiful person.\u00a0 And now I am happy.<\/p>\n<p>Recognize your own strengths and beauty and be satisfied with who you are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\"
