Ron Reads Boring Books
Are you tired? You will be. Because I will read to you a boring book and it will be worse than you doing nothing. This podcast is not intended to entertain you. It is intended to bore you. The length of each podcast will vary so you cannot plan your listening easily. Some reads will be short. Some will be excruciatingly long. There will be no intro or outro music. The only sound is my voice and other random sounds as they happen. I change my voice as I read the dialog. Also, I have a southern accent and do not read well. Thank you for listening.
Ron Reads Boring Books
Borrowed Plumes
Ron narrates Aesop's fable "The Jay and the Peacock," exploring themes of authenticity and the folly of pretending to be something you're not.
• A jay finds peacock feathers in a yard and attaches them to his tail
• The jay struts toward the peacocks, attempting to blend in with them
• The peacocks quickly discover the deception and pluck away the stolen feathers
• When the jay returns to his own kind, they reject him for his pretentious behavior
• The moral: "It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds"

Hello, are you tired? No, you will be. This is Ron Reads. Ron Reads Boring Books. Or is it Ron Reads Boring Books, you decide? Aesop's Fables, the Jay and the Peacock. A jay venturing into the yard I'm sorry, venturing into a yard where peacocks used to walk, found there a number of feathers which had fallen from the peacocks when they were molting. He tied them all to his tail and strutted down towards the peacocks when he came near them. When he came near them, they soon discovered the cheat and, striding up to him, pecked him and plugged away his borrowed plumes. So the jay could do no better than to go back to the other jays who had watched his behavior from a distance. But they were equally annoyed with him and told him it is not only fine feathers that make fine birds. I invite you to help us out at Ron Reads with a great review and rating.
