Firebird Fantasy II by Erika Pál
Myths and Folklore
The Phoenix, myth originating from ancient Greece
A long time ago people believed there was a beautiful bird made of flames, with the ability to be reborn from its own ashes. It builds itself a nest of twigs that catches fire. The nest and the bird burn up and from the ashes a young chick arises. Next time you are around a bonfire, look into it carefully, from a safe distance. That’s how I saw my firebird – it was a tiny flame and flew very fast!
