The peacocks were scared of the swans cause they felt threatened by the swans. They thought the swans were better then them and that the swans would force them to do something they didn't want to do. If they had thought about it logically then they would have realized that to be better than some one you have to be nicer .The swan was trying to take care of her babies and so it all started because she was trying to be a good person. She was carrying a reed for the nest and the peacocks thought that she was attacking them and so they really just killed a bunch of good people becasue they wre obsessed with themselves and being perfect. There was one peacock who startd the problem and he was so obsessed --and I think he was the leader --he was so obsessed with his group being the best that he never thoguht that, hey, maybe they aren't going to attack us. He never thought to talk with them and he decided to kill them because one flew over with a feather and it might not have even been on of the sharpened ones.In all of the books that we read little people are solving the problems and they are really big people's problems. The mother could have said, "I'm not attacking you." One peacock said let's attack and all the others followed.
Why did the peacocks decide to be scared of the swans and how could it have been stopped?
