English Original
A crow was jealous of the raven because the raven was considered a bird of good omen. The raven always attracted human attention, as people interpreted its flight to foretell future events.
Seeing some travelers approaching, the crow flew up into a tree. Perching on a branch, it cawed as loudly as it could. The travelers turned toward the sound, wondering what it might foretell. One of them said to his companion, "Let us proceed on our journey, my friend. It is only the caw of a crow, and its cry, as you know, is no omen."
Those who assume a character that does not belong to them only make themselves ridiculous.

一只乌鸦嫉妒渡鸦，因为渡鸦被视为一种吉兆之鸟。渡鸦总能吸引人类的注意，因为人们会通过它的飞行来解读未来的吉凶。
看到一些旅人走近，乌鸦飞上了一棵树。它栖息在一根树枝上，尽可能大声地呱呱叫。旅人们转向声音传来的方向，想知道这预示着什麼。其中一人对他的同伴说：“朋友，我们继续赶路吧。这不过是乌鸦的叫声，而它的叫声，你是知道的，并非预兆。”
那些强装不属于自己特质的人，只会让自己显得可笑。
