The Phoenix（在线收听）

    Many ages had passed since the phoenix had been seen in the World．At last he again appeared lmmediately all the different kinds of animals，both birds and beasts，flocked around him．Astonished at his beauty，they stared and admired，and broke out into great praise．But in a short time，the wisest and most prudent amongst them began to look upon him with an eye of compassion，and they sighed：“O unhappy Phoenix！Fate has been hard to him．He has neither mate nor friend．He will never know the pleasure of loving，or being loved．”
