Once upon a time, there was a dragon named Danny who lived in China. He loved Chinese New Year because he loved the firecrackers and noise. But one year, Danny felt discouraged because he couldn't scare anyone with his roar anymore. People would just laugh. So he decided to try something new. On Chinese New Year, Danny snuck up on people while they were setting off firecrackers and scared them with his roar! Everyone was so surprised that they started running, but then they realized it was just Danny and they all had a good laugh. From then on, Danny was famous for being the scariest dragon during Chinese New Year celebrations.
