孔雀的抱怨 。孔雀向王后朱诺抱怨。她说:王后陛下,您赐给我的歌喉,没有任何人喜欢听,可您看那黄莺小精灵,唱出的歌声婉转而甜蜜,它风头出尽。朱诺听它如此言语,严厉地批评道:你赶紧住嘴,妒忌的鸟儿,你看你脖子四周,是一条如七彩丝绸染织的美丽彩虹。当你款款行走时,舒展的华丽羽毛,出现在人们面前,就好像色彩斑斓的珠宝。你是如此的美丽,你难道好意思去嫉妒黄莺的歌声吗?和你相比,这世界上没有任何一种鸟能像你这样受到别人的喜爱。一种动物不可能具备世界上所有动物的优点。我们分别赐给大家不同的天赋,有的天生长得高大威猛;有的如鹰一样的勇敢,鹊一样的敏捷。大家彼此相融,各司其职。所以我奉劝你打消你的抱怨,不然的话,为了惩罚,你将失去你美丽的羽毛。大道理:在工作中,要学会与同事和睦相处。要注重和他人的合作。现在的工作变得越来越复杂,单纯的,仅靠一双手就能完成的工作正在走向灭亡。小故事大道理全集
