Cattiness and Gossip are HurtfulThe Blackbird and The DoveOne day a blackbird and a dove called upon a peacock. The peacock received both of them very kindly in his arbor. "I have long wished to meet you," said the blackbird. "Many have told me of your beauty and of your grace. I find that they did not tell me half." He stroked the peacock's coat lovingly as he praised him. The dove was silent. At last they bade the peacock goodbye, the blackbird making many low bows. As they started home, the blackbird said, "I hope I may never meet that stupid peacock again. I can not bear him. Did you notice his feet? I felt like laughing every time I looked at them. His voice makes me shudder. What can anyone see to praise in that bird?" "I did not notice his feet nor his voice," said the dove. "He has a noble form and his dress is very beautiful. The rainbow and the flowers are not more beautiful." The blackbird turned away in shame. He wished to hear fault found with the peacock, but the dove gave only the highest praise.
