"Tomorrow ..." said the Phoenix doubtfully. "I have a strange feeling, my boy  for once, I find myself unable to explain  most odd, _most_ odd ... five hundredth birthday...." "Ah, well," it went on more cheerfully, "I shall undoubtedly remember later. The pressing question is, what shall we do now?" TOMORROW SAID THE PHOENIX DOUBTFULLY I HAVE A STRANGE FEELING MY BOY FOR ONCE I FIND MYSELF UNABLE TO EXPLAIN MOST ODD MOST ODD FIVE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY AH WELL IT WENT ON MORE CHEERFULLY I SHALL UNDOUBTEDLY REMEMBER LATER THE PRESSING QUESTION IS WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW
red.... Destiny.... Have I mentioned before, my boy, that I have a magnificent destiny?" "No. What is it, Phoenix?" "I--well, it is strange, my boy, but I do not know ... but that it is magnificent no one can doubt." "Do I have one too?" "Of course, my boy. We all do." David was glad of that. He did not know exactly what a destiny was, however, and he tried to think of how one would look. But the only picture which came to his mind was that of a small, mousy creature (his destiny) looking up in admiration to a splendid thing of flame and gold, dazzling to the eyes--the Phoenix's mysterious destiny. He said, "We'll have to do something special tomorrow to celebrate, Phoenix." The Phoenix looked thoughtful. "I think we had better do whatever we are going to do _today_," it said. "Well, we can do something today _and_ tomorrow, then," said David. "After all, a birthday only comes once a year, and it seems a shame to spend only one day on it. Especially when it's a five hundredth birthday.
