PHOENIX

The Phoenix is a large mythical bird with splendid plumage.Once,it made a nest with cypress branches.While sitting in the nest to lay eggs,the bird created a great deal of heat,setting itself on fire with the cypress serving as stoker.After three days,the phoenix emerged from its own ashes,reborn and released from its own ashes,reborn and released from the sentence of death forever.
