The man who wanted to live forever story
There was once a man who wanted to live forever. He lived in fear of dying. One day he was walking along and saw a Chinese dragon.
“Oh, dragon,” he said. “I
live in fear of dying, I hear that you live forever. I wish I was You.”
Then, the dragon spoke,
“Kind man, you shall not like living forever. I will show you what it feels
like.”
The dragon carried him to
an island where nobody died. The man lived there and was amazed at how the
people would buy poison. Then after a while he understood, the people did not
enjoy living forever.
He called the dragon.
“Take me back,” he commanded.
The dragon said, “I see
you have learned your lesson.”
And now in China when
people see dragons they say, “We are happy as we are, oh, dragon.”
