Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, lived a wise owl and a proud peacock. The owl always shared advice with other animals. One day, the proud peacock showed his bright feathers to everyone. He thought he was the most beautiful animal. However, the other animals were afraid to talk to him. They admired his feathers but did not like his attitude. The wise owl saw this and decided to help. The owl called all the animals together and said, 'Beauty is not only what you see. It is also kindness and friendship.' The peacock listened carefully. He realized that being beautiful is not enough to make friends. After that day, he began to be kind to others. Slowly, the animals started to play with him. The proud peacock learned that true beauty comes from the heart.
