(林州市八下期末)Long long ago, King Swan had a beautiful daughter. On her 15th birthday, she wished that she could choose her own husband when she was old enough. King Swan agreed.
When the princess was old enough, King Swan called all the birds to his home.Birds came from everywhere, even from far away. King Swan told his lovely daughter to choose one she liked.She looked over the birds there. Finally she chose a green longnecked peacock (孔雀). She told her father, “This bird, the peacock, will be my husband.”

Hearing that the peacock was the lucky one, the other birds crowded around to congratulate (祝贺) him. The excited peacock said nothing but held his head high. Later he began to shout and show his beauty in a strange dance. The other birds started to laugh.
King Swan was angry. Standing in the middle of the birds, he said, “Sir Peacock, your voice is sweet, and you're really pretty. But you are not modest at all. I will not allow my daughter to marry you!”
The princess also learned she was wrong. Then King Swan married his daughter to a modest bird.The peacock flew away, having lost a beautiful wife.
