SESJA |. READING The Four Dragons Long ago in China, there lived four wise dragons in the Eastern Sea: the Long Dragon, the Yellow Dragon, the Black Dragon and the Pearl Dragon. These dragons served the mighty Jade Emperor, the ruler of the kingdom. ‘The emperor was a kind man; however, the evil Fairy Queen put him under a spell so that he no longer cared for his people. ‘One day, while the dragons were flying across the land, they noticed that the crops were dying and the people were going hungry. ‘We must bring them rain!’ cried the Yellow Dragon. The other agreed. ‘Let's speak to the Jade Emperor,’ said the Long Dragon. So off they flew to the emperor's palace, high above the clouds. ‘The dragons knelt before the emperor. ‘Please send rain!" They bagged. The emperor agreed. But after ten days he failed to keep his promise. Luckily, the dragons had an idea. They filed their mouths with seawater and sprayed itall over the dry land. Immediately, the crops started growing ‘The people clapped and cheered. However, the Jade Emperor was furious. He puta huge mountain on top of each dragon, so that they could never escape again. Even stil, the dragons wanted to help the people of China. Using all their magic, they turned themselves into four flowing rivers: the Long River, the Yellow River, the Black River and the Pearl River. And that's how, even to this day, the four great rivers of China deliver fresh water tothe people all year round. (From: V. Evans, J.
