BR 2-16: The Dragon Painter

"I can't paint their eyes," said Chang. "Dragons are magical creatures...if I paint their eyes, they will come to life." (2006)

There was famous painter in China. His name is Chang. Everyone loved Chang's picture, and people came from all over China to see them. He is good at animal picture the best of all. His butterflies and birds really seems alive. One day, the Emperor of China heard about them. So he ask Chang to paint pictures. He drew four dragons but he never drew dragon's eyes. The reason is if Chang draw eyes on dragon, dragon were come to live! But the Emperor didn't assent, and have Chang drew these eyes. Then a bolt of lightning split open the temple roof and dragon yawned and flied. 

I surprised that Chang's ability but why he know about dragon's the way to come live? There are some people who have some kinds of ability, and these ability are sometimes make people happy but also make people unhappy. We should obey pro, and we don't have to have an an itchy palm.
