Why Change?

              
Why Change?
    Susan the crow was contentedly flying on the north side of the C.A.R. (Central African Republic) kingdom. She made her way over the gloriously beautiful garden which belonged to the king. “Oh what a joyfully glorious morning!” assumed Susan in a state of revere. Abruptly torn from her thoughts she discovered vibrant colors dancing through the king’s garden. “Peacocks!” chortled Susan.


 She flew over the garden every week, but she never saw anything like this! “Maybe I can pretend to be one of those birds and join the party!” jubilantly exclaimed Susan. Hopelessly she quickly glanced over her shoulder only to examine that her feathers would never make the cut. The peacocks would detect that she was not one of their kind.

She suddenly received the notion of pasting old peacock feathers to her plain rear feathers. Susan thought this was a sharply thought out plan. Unfortunately she didn't see that it was a hilariously dumb idea.
     Gleefully she swooped down to the palace garden and started to retrieve as many shed feathers as her miniscule wings could carry. ”Oh, I am so clever!” dreamily snickered Susan. She then sloppily slapped on the stolen feathers. Any other birds looking at her would think she was cray-cray.

   Nonchalantly she strutted into the garden wearing her stolen feathers. At once the music stopped and all the peacocks gawked at her, rudely stared and some even impolitely shouted very hurtful names. Such as (and I quote) “Imposter!” and “Go back home!”  They speedily crowded around the frightened crow and pecked at her. 

All the stolen feathers and quite a few real feathers were successfully ripped off. Susan rapidly burst out of the circle, flew away, and was never heard from again. MORAL, be you and don't change for anyone.
