The bird flew for a long time and finally reached the seaside. It jumped into the water excitedly and wanted to swim into the distance. But when the bird swam deeper, it found that it was lost. It looked around for directions but could not find them. At this moment, an old fox appeared. "Do you want to go back to the forest?" asked the old fox. "Yes, I want to go back to the forest," answered the bird. "I can take you back to the forest, but you have to promise me one thing," said the old fox. "What is it?" asked the bird. "You must tell me your name," said the old fox. The bird was very surprised because it had never told anyone its name. However, it still told the old fox its name and followed the old fox back to the forest. In the forest, the bird found that its name was already known. It felt very sad because it never thought that its name would be remembered by others. But the bird also began to realize that its name was not important because it already had a beautiful life and a meaningful name.
