Meaning of the proverb:

Man should not force the features in his creation. However, if it is forced, results cannot be obtained and the person falls into the position where everyone is making fun of him. If a wannabe tries to do what others do, he can't, loses his natural behavior and becomes funny.

Story:

Once upon a time there lived a black crow in one of the forests. For some reason she wasn't happy at all. He thought his hair was black, his voice was terrible, and he was unlucky in mind. He was constantly complaining. That's why he always tried to imitate others instead of improving himself. Another day, the crow: OK, I got it. I'll try to stagger like a partridge. If I can do this job, who knows how surprised our people will be, how they will respect me, he thought. He quitted all his work and started watching the partridge. At some point, the partridge noticed this, too. He started to laugh, especially when he saw her making strange movements. He said, "This crow is really stupid. He tries to walk like me when he thinks about it. After a while, he will forget his own walk. If he tries to walk with these legs, he will always fall to the ground." The crow fell to the ground at that moment. The emulative crow was in pain all day because he fell. The next day and the next day the situation was always the same. But the crow was falling to the ground less than before. But it's still ridiculous, don't ask. He was like a callow acrobat trying to walk a tightrope. Moreover, his legs and wings ached. The crow almost gave up on walking like a partridge and said, "No, I can't stand this much pain. I can't lift my wing." I lost myself trying to be like someone else. What am I going to do now?” he cried so loudly that his friends came running. Other crows who saw this helped their friends and flew him. When the crow saw that his life was saved at the last moment, he started to cry even more. “What will happen to me now?! I forgot my own walk. At this rate, my death is imminent. After a while the crow started walking like a crow again.It never imitated others.

We use this proverb ın Turkish as ''Karga keklik gibi sekeceğim derken yürümeyi unutmuş.''
