[MD] an ancient Chinese story

[MarshaV]

This is great.

   "In an ancient Chinese story, there was a person who liked dragons 
very much.  He talked about dragons, he painted dragons, and he 
bought various kinds of dragons.  So there was a dragon who thought, 
"If a real dragon like me visited him, he would be very happy."  One 
day the real dragon sneaked into his room, and the man didn't know 
what to do!  Whaaaah!  He could not even run away.  He could not even 
stand up.  For a long time we have been like the man who admired 
dragons, but we should not just be the dragon's friend or admirer; we 
should be the dragon itself.  Then we will not be afraid of any 
dragon."
