In The Peacock and the Crane (Joe Bloggs), a vain peacock learns that true beauty is not just about colorful feathers. While the peacock boasts about his magnificent tail, the humble crane points out that he can fly high into the sky while the peacock is stuck on the ground. This fable encourages children to look beyond outward appearances and value useful talents. The vocabulary is carefully chosen to help students learn adjectives related to appearance and ability. It is a thought-provoking story that sparks great classroom discussions.
