The wizard replied, "Alright, but first, go and ask the swan if it is happy."
The crow then approached the swan swimming in the lake and asked, "Are you happy?"
The swan replied, "No, my feathers are white. I envy the parrot because it has colorful feathers."
The crow then went to the parrot and asked, "Are you happy?"
The parrot replied, "No, I envy the peacock because its feathers shimmer beautifully."
The crow then went to the peacock and asked, "Are you happy?"
The peacock sighed and said, "No, my colorful and shimmering feathers attract people, and they pluck them, causing me pain. On top of that, they keep me in a cage, in captivity. To be honest, I envy you. You are free, and people don’t even pay attention to you."
At that moment, the crow realized that constantly comparing itself to others leads to failing to appreciate the opportunities it already has.
