Question

分析 全文大意：
一只渡鸦正巧飞过一片湖．他在湖里看到了他看到过的最美的动物．它是一只天鹅，它的羽毛像雪一样白．这只天鹅正在和其它的鸟愉快的玩耍、说话和跳舞．似乎其它的鸟都喜欢和它待在一起．当他看自己的羽毛的时候，它们就像是煤炭一样黑．这只渡鸦非常生天鹅的气．"这只天鹅怎么有如此美妙的羽毛呢？"这只渡鸦说道．他应当怎么处理自己的羽毛呢？他想了又想．
之后，这只渡鸦决定他也想要拥有像天鹅一样的白的羽毛．从那一天开始，这只渡鸦开始像天鹅一样生活．他把家从森林里搬到了湖泊上．他也开始像天鹅一样吃水草．他尽最大的努力和其它的鸟说话和跳舞．最重要的是每一天，这只渡鸦会清洗它的羽毛，希望它们能够变白．甚至他还去附近的河流和水池里去洗他的羽毛．因为他认为在湖里的水不够他来清洗羽毛．但是无论他多么努力的清洗羽毛，它们仍然是黑色的．由于他只吃水草，不久之后，他越来越瘦．不多久，这只渡鸦便死了．
