In ancient times,the phoenix(凤凰)was a small bird.Its feathers(羽毛)were very common but it was very hard﹣working,unlike other birds flying around for fun when they were full.It kept working,picking fruits and storing them in a cave(洞穴).

Other birds looked down on what the phoenix did because they believed there was enough food in the forest.They thought it stupid to make efforts to collect food every day.The phoenix didn't care what others thought.It went on working hard day and night.

One year,a serious drought(旱灾)happened.All the grass and woods dried up and died.There were no fruits left on the trees.Birds flew around for food but could find nothing.As the birds were dying of hunger,the phoenix hurried there and led them to the cave.It shared the

dry fruits with all the other birds,helping them go through the drought.All of them were happy and moved.

After the drought,to thank the phoenix,all the other birds pulled their most beautiful feathers and made shining clothes for it.They all made it the king of the birds.From then on,the phoenix had the most beautiful feathers in the world,and the birds flew together to celebrate its birthday.They flew around the phoenix,singing and dancing,making the best wishes for it.This is the story of A Hundred Birds Paying Homage(致敬)to the Phoenix.
