BR: 02-08 The Dragon Painter


I read “the Dragon Painter”. I introduce this story.

There was a man whose name is Chang. Everyone loved Chang’s pictures. Chang painted misty mountains and vases full of flowers. And his animal pictures were best of all.
One day, the emperor of Chain heard about Chang. The emperor asked him to paint four dragons. A huge crowd gathered at the temple to watch Chang paint. At first, he painted a white dragon which breathed out clouds of steam. But he did not painted dragon’s eyes. Second, he painted a green dragon which had bushy eyebrows and a big, spiky nose. But he did not paint dragon’s eye, too. Third, he painted a gold dragon which had coiled tail and curling around its body. But he did not paint dragon’s eyes, too. Finally, he painted a red dragon which had gleaming red scales and wicked claws. But he did not painted dragon’s eyes. He did not paint Dragon’s eye to the very end.

However, the emperor did not the wall because they did not have eyes. The emperor ordered Chang to paint their eyes. Chang said to the emperor “If I painted dragon’s eye, they will have lives and move.” But the emperor did not believe the story. Chang painted dragon’s eyes reluctantly. Suddenly, a white dragon and a green dragon began to move. They flew higher and higher, until they disappeared into the cloudy. So Chang painted chain for a gold dragon and a red dragon. They could not escape. (251words)
