Solution
If I were the Crane, I would not like the conceit of the Peacock. I would not like the way he scoffed at my feathers, calling them pale and colourless while spreading and showing off his own tail. I also would not like the way he boasted about his own feathers, saying that they shone in the colours of the rainbow, and that he was dressed like a king.

“Oh, the value of the elderly! How could anyone not know?
They hold so many keys, so many things they can show.
We all will read the other side this I firmly believe
And the elderly are closest oh what clues we could retrieve.
For their characters are closest to how we’ll be on high.

To get to know our elders and let them guide our course.”
