Once, a lord named Ye loved dragons (the most
magnificent and powerful imaginary animal in China). He was so crazy about
dragons that he had all his houses decorated with images of dragons.
In his house, one could find the walls painted with
dragons, the pillars and roof beams carved with dragons, the doors and window
frames engraved with dragons. What's more, all his personal belongings were
embellished with dragons. For example, his clothes and quilts were embroidered
with dragons, and his cups and dishes were painted with dragons. Even all his
furniture was built to look like dragons. In other words, there were dragons
everywhere in his house, it was the world of dragons.
Moved by the news that Lord Ye was a dragon
enthusiast, the real dragon in heaven decided to visit Lord Ye's house. Flying
down to earth, the dragon landed in Lord Ye's courtyard, and poked his head
through a window looking into the hall. He wanted to see Lord Ye.
Seeing the real dragon, Lord Ye was so scared that
his face turned pale, and his legs shivered. Instead of treating it as a guest,
he dashed out of his house and fled away, without
saying a word,
Moral: Someone who claims to be fond of something but
is actually afraid of it.
