  • They must have fallen from the peacocks when they were changing feathers.

  • I can collect and use them to decorate my body,

  • thought the jay.

  • Then he tied the feathers to his tail and strode with pride toward the peacocks.

  • But the peacocks soon discovered the jay’s trick,

  • and they said,

  • Look! On his tail are the feathers that fell from us! He is a big cheater!”

  • They then strode up to him,

  • pecked at him, and plucked away his borrowed feathers.

  • However, his companions, who had watched his behavior from a distance, were angry at him.

  • They said, “Now you have learned a lesson.

  • It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.”

  • If you were the jay’s companion,
