The peacock and the crane by Aesop emphasizes that being too proud of looks or talents can make us forget to appreciate others’ strengths. Meanwhile, everyone has especial talent or ability. The crane notices that It’s not just how we look that matters, but what we can do and how we use our abilities.
Indeed, you make an excellent point. The fable “The Peacock and the Crane” really drives home the importance of recognizing and valuing the unique strengths and abilities that each of us possesses. It’s a reminder that while external beauty or talents can be impressive, they should not overshadow the diverse and valuable qualities that others bring to the table. The Crane’s practical ability to fly illustrates the idea that true worth often lies in what we can achieve and how we utilize our gifts, rather than just our outward appearance.
