BR 1-13: The Dragon and the Phoenix

“This is the story of Dragon Mountain, Phoenix Mountain and a shining lake.”(P2)

There are three characters; a Dragon, Queen of Heaven and a Phoenix. There was a Dragon and a Phoenix. They were very nice friends. A Dragon swims in a lake and a Phoenix flew over the sky. One day, they went to an island in the lake, they found a stone. Then they wash and wipe it. Suddenly the stone begun to shine. It was a pearl. The pearl was brighter than any other. Then, a Queen of Heaven saw the pearl and she sent a guardian to steal the stone. Sooner the Dragon and Phoenix found that there was not the pearl. They looked for it to swim in the lake and fly over the forest. Finally, they found the criminal. It was the Queen! They took back it and protected it not to steal it again.

 This was very short story, but it was very interesting story. I didn’t thought the lake’s shape looked like Dragon and Phoenix.
