There are some who seem to be completely enamored by the peacock.
Today morning when I was cooking in the kitchen I happened to glance out. The window is draped in a sort of net curtain that affords enough privacy but does not prevent my view. So as I glanced out I thought I detected the head of the peacock. I was surprised because there is just a thin ledge outside the door, not enough I would think for the peacock to sit. I decided I was seeing a mirage especially because I was not wearing my glasses. So I once again peered through the curtain. Oh, sure enough it was the peacock. And even as I watched it took off with a flurry of wings. And bang went the pot with the gongura plant. It fell on the ground and cracked into pieces, ending the life of the poor plant.
Just to compare: the peahen would never do such foolish things :)
