The Story of Educating Children to Grow Up: Peacock's Sorrow
Peacock once complained in front of the Lord God Jupiter: "You made me so beautiful and decorated my feathers so beautifully, from the neck to the back;" My tail is colorful and shiny; I still wear a delicate crown on my head. The only fly in the ointment is, oh, God, I haven't got the voice you promised me. In this respect, all the birds look down on me; They laughed at my hoarse voice. You treat the nightingale better than me and other birds. You gave her a good voice. She often pleases people with her loud voice at night. Think about it, how can this nightingale not be praised by the poet? Oh, my songs can't compare with the nightingale at all, which makes me so sad. "
Then god said, "didn't you say you had beautiful feathers?" I have prepared gifts for every creation. The nightingale has a good voice and can sing beautiful songs, but her feathers are gray and unremarkable. However, she is very satisfied. So, you are content with your gorgeous feathers and don't care about the nightingale's voice! "
God gave everyone the talent he deserved, so no one should envy the talent God gave others.

A rich man has a tall horse. He had the horse put on a golden halter, an expensive and gorgeous saddle, and a silk carpet woven with gold thread. The horse watched helplessly as his master dressed up so beautifully for him, and he couldn't help but be elated and domineering.

He is carrying a heavy bag and his legs are walking slowly step by step. The horse chewed, foaming at the mouth, and began to shout from a distance: "get out of the way!" " Who taught you to be so rude that you wouldn't let go of a horse like me? Get out, or I'll kill you and drag you out! "
The donkey was scared to death, so he quickly dodged and dared not say anything.
The horse rampaged through the bushes. However, when rushing through the bushes, his hoof crown was injured; So, from now on, he is no longer needed as a mount. The owner took the golden halter and beautiful saddle from him and sold it to a coachman. From this day on, he must pull the cart from morning till night.
Soon, the donkey saw him pulling a cart and said, "Hello, friend!" " What's the matter with you? Where are your golden halter and golden silk carpet? Why didn't I see them? That's it, dear friend. This is common in the world: arrogance will be punished. "
When happiness reaches its peak, misfortune often stands in front of the door; Don't get carried away!
