God Knows

Simon is taking a writing class. Each week, he has a different exercise to follow in creating his story. This is a story that he wrote about a crow and some peacocks.

GOD KNOWS
In the heart of Southeastern England, a crow flew over a king’s palace and looked down in amazement at the sight of a garden. She instantly flew down to enjoy the scene. In the garden she saw beautiful peacocks strutting around; although they looked kind of snooty. “Me and my drab black feathers,” she whispered to the wind. I want to be like those majestic peacocks. She landed by a water fountain and started picking a plethora of peacock feathers. Afterwards, she flew off to her dwelling to find a way to put the feathers on.

When she got there she thoroughly attempted to put the feathers on but could not. Every time she took a test flight, the feathers fell off, and she had to fly to the ground to get them. She went to the wisest crow she knew, (although she knew quite a few but this one was definitely the wisest), and told him her problem. He suggested she should get the sap of a pine tree and put it on the feathers and then stick them onto her tail. She did and it worked. It was dark out and she wanted to be noticed, so she slept until the morning.

The next morning the exhilarated crow woke up and flew off to the palace to see if the vain and snooty peacocks noticed her. Unfortunately for her they did. Immediately they noticed she was an impostor. One of them snapped, “You look crazy!” They pecked at her until she flew away. Since that day a certain crow never pretended to be a peacock.

The moral of this story is:
God knows who you are even if you try to hide from Him
