Solution

A friendly and good-natured peacock would say Hi. Crane! How are you? What a lucky bird you are! You can fly high in the sky among the clouds and stars. You can see the beauty of the earth in all its glory from above. As for me, even though my feathers are so beautiful and shine in all the colors of the rainbow, I cannot fly high. I have to live down here just like any other cock. Well, all of us have something beautiful or useful in us. We should be happy and grateful for this. Bye, Crane. Tell me what you see the next time you are up there among the stars.
