The magician and the Birds

A magician once passed through a forest where many brown birds are flew from tree to tree and filled the air with songs. For a long time he sat and listened, greatly delighted by thier beautiful songs, but in the end he became very jealous, for he himself could not sing.

At last he felt that he must find a way of getting the voice of these singing birds, so he called them all together and said:

'I am sad because the gods have given you such ugly brown features. How happy you would be if you were brightly coloured with red, blue, orange and green!'
