The peacock's complaint

[paulnoel]

A peacock was discontented with his singing voice so he went to God to complain about it.
"It is true that you cannot sing," said God, "but your great beauty more than makes up for it."
But the peacock was not satisfied. "What is the use of beauty," he asked, "with a voice like mine?"
Now God grew impatient. "Each has his destined gift; you have beauty, the eagle has strenght, the nightingale song. Yet you alone are dissatisfied. Complain no more. If your wish was granted and I gave you a fine voice, you would only find something else to complain about."​

The moral of this story; Instead of envying the gifts of others, make the most of your own​
