Fiction: Group 3
The Taoist priest split one of his scales and magic turned the scale into gold sticks. The Taoist priest laughed
and said, “That is what I’m talking about.” He took the gold and left the house. The Dragon called for help.
Luckily, shortly afterwards, a passing farmer heard the voice. He said, “Someone is crying out for help in
this house. I must investigate it.” He broke into the Taoist priest’s house which was empty except for the
Dragon.
The farmer rushed towards him and shouted, “Oh my god! It is the holy Dragon!” “Help me please!” the
Dragon cried.
“But how?” the farmer questioned.
“The key is in that box on the table,” the Dragon said as he pointed his finger at the table. The farmer
cracked open the box with his hoe. He quickly unlocked the case and the chain. The Dragon was free. The
farmer and the Dragon hurriedly ran out of the house. However, at the same time, the Taoist priest was
coming back home and he realized that a man and the Dragon were escaping. He immediately chased after
them. “Stop!” the Taoist priest shouted. He began chanting incantations because he so desperately wanted to
catch the dragon again. There was a translucent glowing case surrounding the Dragon. “Please, save me!”
said the Dragon.
“I’m going to look for help! Dragon!” shouted the farmer.
The Taoist priest succeeded in capturing the Dragon and it was trapped in his case again. “I must kill you
this time so that you will never ever leave me again!” the Taoist priest exclaimed. He pulled out his sword
from its sheath. Suddenly, there was a clamor in the distance. Soon, a crowd was rushing towards the Taoist
priest and he was frightened. He could vaguely see a crowd of people holding hoes and harrows. In fact, the
farmer was leading the citizens to take revenge on the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was immediately
caught by them and the magical case also disappeared. The citizens were angry at the Taoist priest because of
his cruel behavior and he was severely punished by them.
The Dragon appreciated the support of the citizens very much. In order to thank them, he chose the Pearl
River to be his incarnation. After that, the Pearl River Delta was protected by the Dragon and he would
bring wealth and prosperity to the Pearl River Delta forever. Nowadays, people believe that is why the Pearl
River Delta has become one of China’s fastest developing and most dynamic regions.
