There was a rooster. He has an extremely big comb. His body grows golden feathers, very shining under the sun.
This rooster thought himself as the prettiest, showing off his comb and feather everywhere.
He walked out his home and saw a little rabbit, then saying very proudly:”little rabbit, look at my feather. How pretty! Your tail is so short, like a stone.. Look at mine.”
The little rabbit heard it and ran back home crying.
The rooster continued walking forward, then saw a small turtle, and said again:” what’s this.. in the world there exists such ugly animal. Or are my eyes have problems?”
The small turtle didn’t look at the rooster. He said:”don’t be too arrogant. There are many more animals that are prettier than you!”
The rooster heard this, became very angry:”animals that are prettier than me? Not possible!”
The small turtle said again:”why don’t you just walk ahead.”
The rooster spoke to himself while walking:”there are animals prettier than me? how come I don’t believe it?”
Suddenly, he saw not far away there stood a peacock displaying his fine tail feathers.
Now he realized, in this world indeed there are animals that are far more prettier than himself.
