カラスと白鳥
The Crow and The Swanカラスが白鳥を見て、その羽の色をうらやましがありました。
The Crow was filled with envy on seeing the beautiful white plumage of the Swan.あんなに白くなるのは、水で体を洗っているからだと思い、
The Crow thought it was due to the water in which the Swan constantly bathed and swam.いつもエサを拾っている神殿を離れて、池や川のそばに住む事にしました。
So it left the neighborhood of the altars, decided to come to live near the river.ところが、いくら体を洗ってみても羽の色は変わらず、それどころか
But no matter how many times it bathed and washed his feathers, started swimming like Swan,神殿にいる時の様に食べ物が落ちていないため、
its feathers couldn't get whiter, and there was no food for it,とうとう飢えて死んでしまいました。
So at last he died of hunger.暮らし方で、生まれつきの物は変わりません。
