Description:		This is a traditional story narrated for recording by YZQ. The story is as follows: A long time ago there were a mother and son who were very poor. Every day they would go out to cut grass to sell for pig feed. Each day they would sell grass and buy one bowl of rice to eat. One day they found a patch of ground that regrew vegetables every day. The son dug around that patch and found a pearl that was making the grass regenerate. He put the pearl into his storage room and soon it was overflowing with grains. The neighbors became suspicious as to how they had gotten wealthy with grain so fast. They went to rob them and the boy hid the pearl in his mouth and accidentally swallowed it. He then became incredibly thirsty and asked his mother to carry him some water up from the river. After the three bucket of water he was still thirsty. His mother said she was too tired and that he should go down to the river to drink. Then his mother noticed the water had stopped flowing and when she went to go check on her son he had drank the entire river. His head had already began to change (into a dragon head) so his mother grabbed onto his leg (which had not yet morphed) and told him to be a good dragon and go into the sky and make it rain on the crops. But she accidentally said, that he would become an evil dragon. So he became an evil dragon and was very angry. He went around knocking over houses and destroying the earth beneath him. The hunting god knew about this and set off to capture the dragon. He released his hunting dogs and chased and chased the dragon until he was forced to burrow into the ground. The hunting god followed him and tied him up there. The dragon asked “when can I come out?” The hunting god replied when rocks sprout flowers and horses grow antlers, that's when you can come out.”
