At that time, there was a lot of food in the forest. Many birds only know how to play, and when they eat only a few bites a day, they will throw away the rest of the fruit and fly around in the forest.
But this is not the case with the phoenix. It was busy from morning to night, picking up the fruits thrown away by the birds one by one and storing them in the cave.
The sparrows chirped, "What does that mean?" Phoenix is such a money junkie! The crow also laughed at the phoenix and said, "She's a big fool!" ”
The phoenix ignored the other birds, and still picked up these fruits every day, storing and accumulating them one by one.
One year, there was a great drought in the forest, there was no water, the trees dried up, and the earth cracked. There is no food to be found in the forest at all.
The birds had no food, and they were all so hungry that they couldn't hold on.
At this time, the phoenix opened the cave and took out the dried fruits and grass seeds that he had accumulated over the years and distributed them to everyone, and survived the difficulties with everyone.
In this way, everyone filled their stomachs and survived the most difficult period.
After the drought, in order to thank the phoenix for saving his life, the birds plucked the most beautiful feather from themselves and gave it to the phoenix.
They made these feathers into a dazzling bird coat and dedicated it to the phoenix, and unanimously elected it as the king of birds. Since then, the phoenix has beautiful feathers and has become very beautiful.
In the future, whenever the phoenix celebrates its birthday, birds from all directions will fly to congratulate the phoenix, which is the bird and the phoenix.
