A long time ago, there was a bird in the flock. It's a little bigger than ordinary birds. It has almost no feathers, and it is dark and dark. Many birds are unwilling to pay attention to it because it is not dazzling. It is very common among many birds. This bird is called Phoenix.
At that time, Phoenix was not the king of birds, but a very humble bird.
In fairy tales, Phoenix has always been hardworking. It is not as playful as other birds. Instead, it is busy from morning till night every day. After eating, it will continue to collect fruits, pick up unwanted fruits one by one, and hide them in caves, and keep busy.
Other birds play together and can't understand the behavior of Phoenix. They flew over and asked Phoenix if there were so many fruits in the forest that they couldn't eat them themselves. Why do they store so much? The bird laughed at Phoenix's insatiable greed, then shook his head and left.
It happened that it hadn't rained for a long time, and there was a drought in the forest. Birds look for food everywhere, but the fruit has withered long ago and there is nothing to eat at all. The birds are so hungry that they can't hold on any longer. At that time, Phoenix quickly opened the cave, took out the dried fruits and grass seeds that had been stored hard for many years, and shared them with everyone to tide over the difficulties.
In this way, with the help of Phoenix, the bird was saved.
After the drought, the forest came back to life, and the birds naturally could not forget the help of the phoenix. In order to thank Phoenix, the birds plucked the most beautiful feathers from their bodies, made a dazzling bird coat and gave it to Phoenix, and elected it the king of birds.
From then on, every day, birds from all directions will fly to congratulate the Phoenix, forming a scene in which hundreds of birds pay homage to the Phoenix. This is the origin of the story of hundreds of birds paying homage to the Phoenix.
