Original text:

Phoenix is alive, birds meet him, bats don't come. Feng scolded, "Why are you proud to live under my command?" The bat said, "I've had enough. I belong to the beast. What's the use of congratulations? " One day, the unicorn was born and the bat didn't come. Lin is also responsible for this. The bat said, "I have wings and belong to birds." Why congratulate me? " When Lin and Feng met, they talked about bats and sighed with each other, saying, "This world is evil and thin, and people who are not birds and animals are born. What can we do? "

Interpretation of vernacular:

On Phoenix's birthday, all the birds came to congratulate him, but the bat didn't arrive. Phoenix (call it) reprimanded: "You belong to my jurisdiction, why are you so arrogant?" The bat said, "I have animal feet and am a citizen of the animal kingdom." What's the use of congratulating you on your birthday? " Another day, Kirin's birthday, the bat didn't arrive.

Kirin also asked it. The bat said, "I have wings and belong to birds." Why should I congratulate you? " Kirin and Phoenix meet and talk about bats. They sighed to each other: "Now the atmosphere in the world is not good and shallow, so this guy who is neither a bird nor an animal was born. It really doesn't matter at all! "
