said I want to look like the swan everyone admires it the old crow said there's a magical spring deep in the forest if you bathe in its water with a pure heart you can change how you look but before that why don't you ask the swan if it is truly happy the crow agreed and flew back to the pond the crow went to the Swan and asked dear Swan you must be the happiest bird in the village your white feathers are so beautiful and everyone loves you are you happy the swan looked down and said

thank you for your kind words my feathers may be beautiful but I am not happy people keep me as a pet and I cannot live freely When I Grow Old they might even use me for my meat I don't know if I'll still be alive tomorrow the crow was shocked then who who do you think is the happiest bird the swan replied I think parrots are the happiest their colorful feathers are more beautiful than my white ones and people don't eat them the crow thanked the Swan and flew off to find a parrot after searching
