9. Why I Did this Dragon Design!
I read 2 myths about farming with dragons in it.
1. Once upon a time, there was once a river dragon
who controlled all sources of water. The dragon
constantly falls asleep so the land becomes dry in a
few months for that is how long he sleeps. The gods
did not like this so he let humans have the
instrument called the drum! This easily woke up the
dragon and that is how they brought rain for their
crops for a long time until the dragon got the habit
of getting up more frequently.
10. 2nd Myth
Once upon a time there were 4 dragons, they
didn’t like the earth being parched all the
time so they asked the gods to give humans
a better source of water. They promised but
they never did. So the dragons stole water
for humans in the form of rain and defied
the gods who hunted them for a long time
until one day they all turned themselves
into four long different rivers in China for Songhua
humans to use forever. river
