Beauty’s Curse: When Pride Leads to Capture

 

The Peacock’s tail feathers were golden and beautiful, but the peacock was jealous by nature. Although it had long been tamed, it would chase boys and girls dressed in bright, beautiful clothes and peck at them.

Whenever the peacock took a rest in the mountains, it would find a proper place for its tail first, then lie down. Once a peacock was chased in the rain by a bird catcher. The rain wet the peacock’s tail. The peacock knew very well it was in danger, but it loved its tail so much that it stopped flying. Eventually the peacock was caught by the bird catcher.
