The Peacock and Juno
Aesop
Select text to add a note.
A Peacock once placed a petition before Juno desiring to have the voice of a nightingale in addition to his other attractions; but Juno refused his request. When he persisted, and pointed out that he was her favourite bird, she said:
“Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.”
