不死鸟

the phoenix1 was a very colorful and very beautiful bird.

the phoenix lived in a desert. there were no trees and flowers, there were no birds and fish either. the phoenix had no friends, no father and mother. no sisters and brothers.

people didn't know where the phoenix was from, and the phoenix didn't know where she was from either. she was very lonely and unhappy. every day she ate by herself, she drank by herself-she did everything by herself. in this way, she lived 500 years, no talking, no singing at all, only sitting and standing2 in the desert all day.

the phoenix didn't want to continue living, and she wanted to die. one day, she set fire to herself. the bird was burnt to ashes3, but a young bird stood up from the ashes. it was a young phoenix! the young phoenix was as beautiful and colorful as the old one.

people couldn't forget the phoenix. can you guess what bird the phoenix is？

不死鸟是一只色彩鲜艳、非常漂亮的鸟。

不死鸟生活在沙漠里。那里没有别的鸟，没有雨，没有树，只有沙漠。不死鸟没有朋友，没有父亲、母亲，也没有兄弟姐妹。

人们不知道不死鸟从哪里来的。不死鸟自己也不知道从哪里来的。 她非常孤独， 一点儿也不快乐。每天她吃东西的时候孤独，喝水的时候孤独——做每一件事都很孤独。就这样，她生活了500年，没有人可以说话，也没有人听她唱歌，不死鸟只能整天在沙漠里坐着、站着。

不死鸟不想再活下去，她想死。一天，她把自己引着了火。不死鸟被烧成了灰，但是，一只小鸟又从灰里站了起来。她是一只小不死鸟！不死鸟和原来那只一样漂亮，色彩一样鲜艳。

人们忘不了不死鸟。你能猜到不死鸟是什么鸟吗？
