宙斯想要为鸟类立一个王,指定一个日期,要求所有鸟全都按时出席。所有鸟都跑到河里去梳洗打扮。寒鸦知道自己没一处漂亮,便来到河边,捡起所有鸟脱落下的羽毛,小心翼翼地全插在自己身上,再用胶粘住。指定的日期到了,所有的鸟都一齐来到宙斯面前。宙斯一眼就看见花花绿绿的寒鸦, Zeus wanted to establish a king for the birds, specify a date, and ask all the birds to attend on time. All the birds went to the river for grooming. The Jackdaw knew that he was not beautiful, and came to the river, picked up the feathers that all the birds had fallen off, carefully inserted themselves into the body, and glued them. The appointed date arrived, and all the birds came together before Zeus. Zeus saw the colorful jackdaw at a glance.
