Who is Happy? The Peacock and The Crow

A crow [krǝu] lived in the forest and he was absolutely pleased with his life. But one day he saw a swan. "This swan is so white", he thought, "and I am so black. This swan must be the happiest bird in the world."

He told the swan about his thoughts. "Actually", the swan sighed, "I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until (до тех пор, пока не / да таго часу, пакуль не) I saw a parrot, which has two colours. I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in the world." The crow then found the parrot. The parrot surprised the crow, "I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock. I have only two colours, but the peacock has many colours."

Then the crow visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people wanted to see him. They were very excited. After the people had left, the crow came up to the peacock. "Dear peacock", the crow said, "you are gorgeous. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shoo me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet."

The peacock frowned, "I thought that I was the most beautiful and the happiest bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo. I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have seen that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. Now I think that if I were a crow, I could happily live everywhere."

The crow was a bit confused but then he realised everything.

That's our problem too. We make unnecessary comparisons with others and become upset. We don't value what we have. This all leads to unhappiness. Learn to be happy in what you have instead of (вместо / замест) looking at what you don't have. There will always be someone who will have more or less than you have. A person who is pleased with what he / she has is the happiest person in the world.

b. Match the parts of the sentences.

c. Read the moral of the story. Do you agree with it?

d. Tell this story to your friend who isn't pleased with their appearance.

2. a. Прочитайте поучительную историю. Кто счастлив в этой истории? Почему?

Ответ:

The crow is happy in the story. Initially, the crow was unhappy because it compared itself to other birds, but after learning that the beautiful peacock was caged and wished for freedom, the crow realized it was the happiest because it was free.

Перевод:

В этой истории счастлива ворона. Изначально ворона была несчастна, потому что сравнивала себя с другими птицами, но, узнав, что красивый павлин сидит в клетке и мечтает о свободе, ворона поняла, что она самая счастливая, потому что свободна.

2. b. Соедините части предложений.

Ответ:

Перевод:

2. c. Прочитайте мораль истории. Вы с ней согласны?

Ответ:

Yes, I agree with the moral. Constantly comparing oneself to others often leads to unhappiness, whereas finding contentment in what one has is a key to happiness.

Перевод:

Да, я согласен с этой моралью. Постоянное сравнение себя с другими часто ведет к несчастью, в то время как умение находить удовлетворение в том, что имеешь, является ключом к счастью.

2. d. Расскажите эту историю своему другу, который недоволен своей внешностью.

Ответ:

The instruction is to retell the story from the text to a friend who is not pleased with their appearance, emphasizing the moral that happiness comes from valuing what one has, like freedom and contentment, rather than from external attributes that others may admire.

Перевод:

Задание состоит в том, чтобы пересказать историю из текста другу, который недоволен своей внешностью, подчеркнув мораль о том, что счастье приходит от ценности того, что имеешь, например, свободы и удовлетворенности, а не от внешних качеств, которыми могут восхищаться другие.
