### Additional Information
The Crow Looks at the Swan
A crow envies the swan for its pure and delicate feathers. The crow decides to take beautiful feathers from other birds and glues them to its own body. Satisfied with its new colorful appearance, the dove meets the crow and recognizes the lost feathers. The crow is summoned to trial, filled with remorse for its actions, and learns to see the good within itself.
**Moral:**
Find the good within yourself. Avoid envy because it blinds the wise. "Adorned with feathers not its own" - people who decorate themselves with what they do not possess will eventually face disappointment and shame. It is better for a person to be content with what they have and not try to adorn themselves with the attributes and achievements of others. No honor will come from that.
