Write down the theme of the following story (Not more than 50 words).
A jackdaw was so proud of his fine coat of black feathers that he thought himself too grand to live among the other jackdaws. He picked up a number of beautiful feathers that had fallen from a peacock’s tail, and carefully adorned himself with them. Then this vain jackdaw walked boldly up to a family of peacocks, as though he were one of them. The peacocks soon found out that he was only a jackdaw, so they quickly set upon him and drove him away. Then the jackdaw returned to his own friends, but they were so offended with him that they refused to have anything more to do with him.
Answer : It’s foolish to try and be what you are not. The jackdaw of the story shows its extreme foolishness adorning itself with the feathers of peacock. This indicates that we should not try to imitate others. Rather we should be happy about what we are.
