Everyone was busy preparing performances: the lark would sing, the peacock would dance, and the woodpecker worked hard to peck the trees with a "bang-bang-bang" sound—she was getting the venue ready for everyone's celebration. Even the little swallow hurried back from the south, sparing no effort to wish the Phoenix a happy birthday. On that day, it was extremely lively—all the birds came.
