Swan Minister

Author: Anonymous

A wise man respects his elders as if they were his head.

Respecting elders allows you to move forward;

Miaorong is only because she is particularly respectful and protective of the country.

Later, he was promoted to a higher position with great fanfare.

Once upon a time, the prince and the great sage turned into a swan king named Huguo in the Ruyi Lake. Its minister is kind-hearted and named Miao Rong. This king’s meritorious deeds are astonishing and he is famous all over the world.

After the news reached the ears of King Vargenas, in order to attract these two animals to him, he had a wonderful lake decorated with various flowers be built near the garden. At this time, after seeing the beauty of the wonderful lake, a pair of swans flew to the Ruyi Lake and told the Swan King about the wonderful beauty and advantages, and repeatedly urged it to move there. Out of love, the Swan King and his ministers came together to the wonderful lake in the Kingdom of Vagenais. Because there was a net in the lake, the Swan King’s paws were caught as soon as they hit the ground.

At this time, the other swans who followed saw that the situation was not good and all flew away. Although Miao Rong, the swan minister, was not arrested, he was very close to the Swan King and refused to abandon the Swan King, so he still stayed by his side and did not fly away. As soon as the bird hunter arrived, it said many touching words to the hunter in human language. The hunter was very impressed after hearing this, so he caught the swan and the king and his ministers together and brought them to King Fanxiang, and reported his wonderful appearance gracefully.

Swans can speak human words. After giving a lecture on Buddhism to the king and his family, the ministers of the Vatican Palace returned to their original place to seek benefits for many animals, including swans.

Respecting elders is one of the good qualities that a person should have at least. Miaorong respects the king, which is its virtue, and it is also an honor that it deserves to be supported by the king.
