                           THE PRKOUD PEACOCK
                          &&&&&&&&&&&&&&
 Once the birds of the forest assembled together and decided to choose a king for themselves.As no consensus of opinion emerged,the matter was put to vote.They selected a Golden Mallard Drake to rule over them.
    Now the Mallard King had a lovely daughter.She was as beautiful as a peacock.The king was a tad flummoxed whom to give her daughter in marriage.However,the daughter was not willing to marry the one chosen by her parent.She made it clear that she would herself chose her hubby.The  King was kind enough to accede to her request.
   The eligible male bachelors assembled under a larch.The daughter was asked to inspect them all and select one.She culled the peacock.The peacock let out a yowl of joy and felt himself floating in the seventh sky in sheer happiness.He spread his wings at once and warbled proudly:
   "I am not a bit surprised.It is because I am so handsome and capable."
  With which he started to jitterbug.
   The Mallard king watching the peacock dance flew into rage.
  "I could never give my daughter in marriage to such a show-off,"he gurgled with ire.
  So he gave his daughter to a good-looking but modest mallard drake,instead.The peacock retired in sheer shame for his foolish pride and mulishness.
