Once, in ancient China, there was no rain.
“No rain!” the farmers cried.
Months later they cried, “Still no rain!”
Years later they cried, “No rain! “Still no rain!”
The farmers cried to the Jade Emperor. They asked for rain. But they did not get it.
Four great dragons lived in the East China Sea. They were Long Dragon, Yellow Dragon, Black Dragon, and Pearl Dragon.
The dragons felt sad for the people.
“We must help them!” said Pearl Dragon. “What can we do?”
The four dragons looked at the sea. The sea was filled with water. They could scoop up the water and fly high into the sky. They would make it rain!
"We can save the people!" cried Black Dragon.
The dragons dove into the sea. They scooped up all the water they could carry.
Then they flew high into the sky. Black Dragon flew north. Long Dragon flew west. Pearl Dragon flew south. Yellow Dragon flew to the center of China.
They spilled water from their wings. They spilled water from their tails.
