                                                   A snake wishing to become a dragon

    Once upon a time, there was a child hiking in a remote mountain with his parents. When they got to the top of the mountain, they saw some men cutting the bamboo forest to dig a big hole.

    The child ran to the men and asked them what they were doing. One of the men said, “It’s said that there was a big snake under this forest! We should find it and let it go.” The child was very interested in this, so he asked his parents to stay to watch the snake. After two hours, a man suddenly shouted, “There’s a real big snake!” The child was excited and he ran to the big hole. When he stopped, he saw a really big snake sleeping in the hole. The snake was white and 15-20 meters long. Strangely, there were two balls on its head. A brave man woke it up and asked other people to be quiet. He started to say something to the snake. After a while the snake moved. The brave man said to others, “Please give him a blessing. It wants to be a dragon.” The child said loudly, “Wish you could be a dragon as fast as you can!” The other said some blessings too. The snake seems to be very happy. He nodded and left for the even higher mountain.
