BR 2-10: The Dragon and The Phoenix

I read The Dragon and The Phoenix, because I didn't know this story. And I am interested in the phoenix. ha ha This story based on The Bright Pearl, a folktale from China. In Chinese stories, dragons and phoenixes are often shown together. Chinese dragons have lots of magical powers and can even fly without wings.

This is the story of Dragon Mountain, Phoenix Mountain and a shining lake. It begins thousands of years ago, in China. Long Long ago, a dragon lived beside a magic river. A dark forest grew on the other side of the river. Deep inside the forest lived a phoenix. One day, they met, and a shiny peddle lay on the sand. They washed it and it became a pearl. But that night, the Queen of Heaven sent a guard to steal it. They kept looking for it and they saw it shining in the sky. They flew up to Heaven and saw the Queen. The pearl fell from the sky. It landed on the ground and became a shining lake. The dragon and the phoenix lay beside it. They are still there today.

It is happy end! I like it :) My favorite line is "The dragon and the phoenix stayed on the island watching the pearl." (Resley, 2007, p. 8) I also want to keep watching my important thing. I like fairy tale very much!
