Question
2
"My goodness!" exclaimed the peacock. "How can such a rich range of notes flow from such a plain little bird?"
Use "The Peacock and Juno" to answer the questions that follow.
O9 9.
3
The nightingale stopped singing and looked thoughtfully at the peacock.
Which sentence best illustrates the peacock's conflict?
4
"I've never concerned myself with that," replied the nightingale. "Singing makes me happy because it makes others happy."
He decided to complain about it to Juno, the Roman goddess who ruled
alongside Jupiter, king of the gods.
"Still," grumbled the peacock, "it seems nature has made a mistake, giving such a beautiful voice to such an unremarkable bird."
"How can such a rich range of notes flow from such a plain little bird?"
What is the use," said he, "of being beautiful with a voice like mine?"
Juno replied sternly, "Fate has given us all gifts..."
CLEAR ALL
6 The nightingale did not appreciate the peacock's unkind words, but he was not the type to say unkind words in return. Instead, he flew away, making sure to sing
more loudly and sweetly than he had been singing before.
The peacock was greatly discontented because he did not have a beautiful voice like the nightingale did. He decided to complain about it to Juno, the Roman
goddess who ruled alongside Jupiter, king of the gods.
"The nightingale's song," said he, "is perfect; but whenever I utter a sound, I become a laughingstock."
9
The goddess tried to console him by saying, "You have not, it is true, the power of song, but then you far excel all the rest in beauty-your neck flashes like the
emerald and your splendid tail is a marvel of gorgeous color."
10 But the peacock was not appeased. "What is the use." said he. "of being beautiful with a voice like mine?"
