很久很久以前，宇宙之王宙斯想要给所有的鸟儿选一个国王。
他定下了一个日子，并告诉所有的鸟儿要在那一天打扮得漂漂亮亮的来见他。
所有的鸟儿都非常高兴，他们跑到河边去洗洗澡，梳理梳理羽毛，准备在那一天展现出最美的自己。
但是，有一只叫做寒鸦的鸟却很伤心。
因为他的羽毛一点也不漂亮，他觉得自己肯定当不了国王。
于是，寒鸦想出了一个主意。
他偷偷的跑到河边，捡起其他鸟儿掉落的美丽羽毛，然后小心翼翼的插在自己的身上，再用胶水粘住。
这样，他看起来就像一只美丽的鸟儿了。
到了指定的日子，所有的鸟儿都来到了宙斯面前。
宙斯一眼就看到了那只花花绿绿的寒鸦，他觉得寒鸦是最漂亮的鸟儿，决定让他当国王。
但是，其他的鸟儿都非常生气。
他们发现寒鸦身上的羽毛都是他们的，便纷纷从寒鸦身上拔下了属于自己的羽毛。
这样一来，寒鸦身上的美丽羽毛一下全没了，他又变回了一只丑陋的寒鸦。
这个故事告诉我们，借助别人的东西可以让自己看起来更美，但这只是假象。
一旦那些不属于自己的东西被拿走，我们就会原形毕露。
所以，我们应该做真实的自己，不要去模仿别人。
A long, long time ago, the king of the universe, Zeus, wanted to choose a king for all the birds.
He set a date and told all the birds to come see him on that day dressed in their best.
All the birds were very happy. They ran to the river to take a bath and comb their feathers, preparing to show their best selves on that day.
But there was one bird, a jackdaw, who was very sad.
Because his feathers were not beautiful at all. He felt that he could never be king.
So the jackdaw came up with an idea.
He secretly went to the river and picked up the beautiful feathers that other birds had dropped. He carefully stuck them on his body and glued them in place.
In this way, he looked like a beautiful bird.
On the appointed day, all the birds came before Zeus.
Zeus immediately saw the colorful jackdaw. He thought the jackdaw was the most beautiful bird and decided to make him king.
But the other birds were very angry.
They found that the feathers on the jackdaw were theirs, so they plucked out the feathers that belonged to them from the jackdaw's body.
As a result, the jackdaw lost all his beautiful feathers and turned back into an ugly jackdaw.
This story tells us that using other people's things can make us look more beautiful, but it is only an illusion.
Once those things that do not belong to us are taken away, we will reveal our true form.
So we should be our true selves and not imitate others.
