BR1-14 The Dragon Painter

This story is the Chinese painter. His name is Chang. He is very good painter. His animal pictures were seemed alive. One day, the Emperor in Chana asked him to paint new temple. Chang painted four dragons on wall. One the first wall, he drew a pearl-white dragon. The second dragon was jade-green. The third dragon was a huge gold dragon. The last dragon was red. However, they didn't had eyes. Chang didn't paint their eyes, because if he paint their eyes, they will come to life. But the emperor make him to paint dragon's eyes. Then the pearl-white and jade dragon break the roof and escaped from the wall. So he painted heavy chains around other dragon's necks. Two dragons were on temple wall. They were the best painted dragons in all of China.when this really happened, I thought that it was a very fearful story. But this is very interesting story for me.
