English Original
Once upon a time, the birds, who valued beauty, chose the Golden Swan as their king. King Golden Swan had a beautiful golden daughter. When she came of age, he granted her wish to choose her own husband.
The king summoned all the birds of the Himalayas to a grand gathering in Nepal. Among the many splendid birds, the princess's eye was caught by a magnificent emerald-green peacock with gorgeous tail feathers. "This peacock shall be my husband," she declared.
Overjoyed, the other birds congratulated the peacock. Puffed up with pride, he began a fantastic strutting dance to show off his colorful feathers. He fanned out his spectacular tail and danced in a circle. However, in his conceit, he pointed his head skyward, forgot all modesty, and exposed his private parts for all to see.
The young birds giggled, but King Golden Swan was not amused. He thought, "This peacock lacks both inner shame and outer fear, leading to indecent behavior. Why should my daughter be shamed by such a mate?"
Addressing the assembly, the king said, "Sir Peacock, your voice is sweet and your feathers are beautiful. But you have danced without shame or fear. I will not permit my daughter to marry such a fool."
The king then married his daughter to a royal nephew. The silly, strutting peacock flew away, having lost a beautiful wife.
The moral is: If you let pride go to your head, you'll wind up acting like a fool.
中文翻译
从前，崇尚美丽的鸟儿们推举金天鹅为国王。金天鹅国王有一位美丽的金天鹅女儿。女儿成年时，国王应允了她自己选择丈夫的愿望。
国王召集了喜马拉雅山脉所有的鸟儿，在尼泊尔举行了一场盛大集会。在众多华美的鸟儿中，公主的目光被一只拥有华丽尾羽、翡翠绿脖颈的 magnificent 孔雀所吸引。"这只孔雀将成为我的丈夫，"她宣布道。
其他鸟儿欣喜不已，纷纷向孔雀道贺。孔雀骄傲得膨胀起来，开始跳起一场 fantastic 昂首阔步的舞蹈，炫耀他五彩斑斓的羽毛。他展开 spectacular 的尾羽，转着圈跳舞。然而，由于过于自负，他将头昂向天空，全然忘记了谦逊，竟将自己的私处暴露在众目睽睽之下。
年轻的鸟儿们咯咯直笑，但金天鹅国王却感到不悦。他想："这只孔雀既无内在的羞耻心以保持得体，也无外在的敬畏心以阻止不得体的行为。我的女儿为何要因这样一个无脑的伴侣而蒙羞？"
国王站在众鸟之中说道："孔雀先生，你的声音甜美，羽毛美丽。但你的舞蹈毫无羞耻与敬畏之心。我不会允许我的女儿嫁给这样一个傻瓜。"
随后，国王将女儿嫁给了王室的一位侄子。那只愚蠢的、昂首阔步的孔雀飞走了，失去了一位美丽的妻子。
寓意是： 如果让骄傲冲昏头脑，你最终会表现得像个傻瓜。
