Once in a faraway village, there was a large, scaly rock that looked like a dragon. The villagers believed that the rock was actually a dragon. The villagers were worried because there had been no rains in the village for a long time. “Help us, O Mighty Dragon!” they prayed. Every day, they carried flowers and placed them on the dragon. One day, the sleeping dragon began to rumble and soon the low sound turned to a loud thunder. The land shook and heaved. Everyone stood at the foot of the dragon, watching wide-eyed. Before long, there was a heavy gush of water sprouting from the rock and flowing into the village. Though the village was flooded, no one minded and only thanked the sleeping dragon.
