A crow lived in a thick forest filled with many birds. The crow was very content with his carefree life until he saw a swan one day. The swan was flying over a lake. “This swan is so white,” he thought, “and I am so black. It must be the happiest bird in the world.”

He shared his thoughts with the swan. “Actually,” the swan replied, “I thought so too until I met a parrot. It had brilliant colors of red and blue. No other bird could be happier than the parrot.”

The crow went in search for the parrot, and found it rested on the top of an old rain tree. The parrot explained, “ I too was very happy until I chanced upon a peacock . My colors paled in comparison to the peacock’s. Its rich colors put my coat to shame.”

Curiosity defeated the crow, who was determined to look for the beautiful peacock. He finally found the peacock at the zoo. Hundreds of people gathered round to watch the peacock and its beautiful wings. After the crowd left, the crow rested itself onto a rock and said, “Dear peacock,” the crow said, “ You are so beautiful. Every day, people come just to see you. People either drive me away or avoid me when they see me. You must be the happiest bird on the planet.”

The peacock replied, “My beauty had me kept in this zoo. In the years I spent here, I often thought to myself that if I were a crow, I could be enjoying a carefree life outside. Then after many months of internal struggles, I come to realize that I need to learn to be happy in what I have instead of expecting what I do not have. I am happy because I’m satisfied with my life here.”
