The Vain Jackdaw.

Jupiter determined, it is said, to create a sovereign over the birds,and made proclamation that, on a certain day, they should all presentthemselves before him, when he would himself choose the most beautifulamong them to be king. The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searchedthrough the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which hadfallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts ofhis body. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembledbefore Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in hismany-feathered finery. On Jupiter proposing to make him king, on accountof the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and eachplucking from him his own feathers, the Jackdaw was again nothing but aJackdaw.

Hope not to succeed in borrowed plumes.
