The Peacock and Juno, 공작새와 주노, 이솝우화
The Peacock and Juno, 공작새와 주노, 이솝우화
The Peacock was unhappy because he had not a beautiful voice, and he complained to Juno about it.
"The nightingale's song," said he, "is the envy of all the birds; but when I utter a sound I become a laughingstock."
The goddess answered him, saying, "You excel in beauty: your neck flashes like emerald and your tail is of gorgeous color."
But the Peacock was not appeased. "What is the use," said he, "of being beautiful, with a voice like mine?"
Juno replied, "Fate has allotted to all their destined gifts: to you beauty, to the eagle strength, to the nightingale song, and so on; you alone are dissatisfied. Make no more complaints: for, if your present wish were granted, you would quickly find cause for fresh discontent."
The farthest you go is with using your own gifts.
