英語故事：愛惜羽毛的孔雀

Male peacocks are very proud of their beautiful tails. Although tamed for a long time, whenever they see young people wearing flowery clothes it will go up enviously and peck them to pieces.

When they live in the mountains, they always find a place to hide their tails first, then their bodies.

When it rains and their tails get wet, they will take care of their tails for a long times, and won't fly high into the sky, not giving any care to the arrival of the hunters. Thus, they get caught in the end.

雄孔雀很為自己漂亮的長尾巴感到驕傲，雖然被人馴養(yǎng)了很長時間，但只要看見穿著華麗的少年男女，都嫉妒地追上去，要琢碎他們的衣衫。

它們在山里棲息的時候，也總是先相個地方把尾巴藏起來，然后才考慮安置身體。

趕上下雨天如果尾巴淋濕了，它總是顧惜半天，不肯高飛，完全不在意捕鳥人的到來，而最后的結果則是被人抓住。
