Once upon a time in China, there was a dragon who loved to make noise. He would roar and screech all day long, causing quite a disturbance in the kingdom. However, on Chinese New Year, the dragon loved to join in on the festivities. He would light firecrackers and dance to the sound of their explosions. The villagers were scared of the dragon's loud noises but they also knew he meant no harm. They would say that the dragon's noises were just part of the celebrations. The dragon was happy to be a part of the Chinese New Year and the villagers were glad that his noises could be part of their fun. The end.
