The story centers around a fanciful event where different animals prepare for a grand ball hosted by vipers. Each creature decorates itself elaborately, with particular attention given to the flamingos who originally have white legs. Envious of the coral snakes’ attire and hoping to win their favor, the flamingos seek to adorn themselves similarly by acquiring red, white, and black 'stockings,' which are actually shed skins of coral snakes. The flamingos receive these deceptive items from an owl and attend the ball, becoming the center of attention. Despite warnings to keep dancing, the flamingos eventually collapse from exhaustion, exposing their secret. Angered, the coral snakes and other vipers retaliate against the flamingos, turning their white legs permanently red with venom. This tale is often interpreted as a fable about envy, deception, and the consequences of trying to emulate others without understanding the risks involved. It serves as a cautionary story for children about the dangers of envy and deceit, as well as a whimsical explanation for the flamingos' distinctive red legs.
