This is a story of a peacock and a Nightingale, who lived in a jungle. The peacock was very happy to have his beautiful colorful body but one day, he saw a Nightingale singing in the trees. He heard her for the first time. He was mesmerized by the voice of the nightingale.
The peacock sat down under the tree and listened to the nightingale. but then, some tears start to roll down her face. He gets upset and looked up at the sky and said:
Why god, why you didn't give me the sweet voice.
Just that moment, the nightingale came down from the tree and asks the Peacock.
What happened brother, why are you crying?
The peacock, wiping the tears from his cheeks, looked up to the nightingale and said:
You have the most beautiful voice in the world and I'm a useless bird. I don't have a sweet voice. I wish I had the voice like you.
The nightingale said to the peacock:
Oh, brother, you think I am lucky. But when people listen to my voice and find me a tiny little bird who is not beautiful they get disappointed. Now think, brother, although, I have a sweet voice but not a beautiful body like you. But still, daily, I sing happily. and thank God for giving me a sweet voice.
The peacock now thinks that:
Yes, sister, I think you are right. I should not complain about my bad voice but thank God for giving me a beautiful body.
From that day, the peacock never complains about his voice and lived happily.
Moral of the Story:
We should not complain about what we don't have but thank God for what we have.
