Description "Things are going badly in the land of the birds. There is disorder and chaos. To find a remedy the birds get together for a conference. The Hoopoe comes to the fore, filled with hope. She announces some important news: the birds have a king, a real king, far away and unknown. He is called the Simorg. He must be found or all is lost."
