They say that a peacock is the most arrogant animal and this is how it was in the fable as well. The peacock was obsessed with his beauty.

In this fable, Aesop tells the story of an eagle and a beetle who have had an argument. The beetle does not like that the cruel eagle has caught the hare, so he rolls all the eggs out of the eagle's nest. The scared eagle hides the rest of her eggs in the womb of Jupiter, but the beetle again deceives him and cracks more of the eagle’s eggs. We ca...
One of the main features of our current times is that we are constantly looking for wealth, but that we do not realise that our greatest wealth is not measured by material things.

However, her feathers remained black, eating as the swans did caused her to ...

It is about a strong and powerful oak that was proud of its mightiness, but which in the end still gets blown away by a strong wind, as well as being about a gentle and humble reed that grows next to the oak, but which the wind does not harm at all. Try to remember this story when you resist s...
