  One day,a raven (渡鸦) happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake,he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan (天鹅) and its feathers (羽毛) were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily，talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with it. When he looked at his own feathers,they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “ How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. “What should he do with his feathers?” He thought it over and over.

Then,the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on,the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day,the raven would wash his feathers,hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers,because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers,they remained black.

As he only ate water plants,he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later,the raven died.
