Wuya Weishenme Shi Hei De

A long time ago, there was a beautiful bird with colorful feathers and a sweet singing voice. While other birds admired her, they busied themselves building nests and storing food to prepare for the coming winter. The beautiful bird, however, spent her days wandering the forest, flaunting her appearance and skill instead of preparing.

When winter arrived, the beautiful bird had no shelter and no food. Seeking warmth, she found a bonfire and flew too close. Her body caught fire, and though she managed to extinguish the flames, her feathers were scorched black and her voice became hoarse and unpleasant. Thus, she became the crow we know today.
