�THE LEGEND

of the
DRAGONS
The Sea . . .
The Sky . ..
The Land ...

The Dragons came from the East riding the waves
of the Sea . They· brought with them schools of fish.
The fishermen were happy with the good catch.
When They came to the shore They flew to the sky.
Passing through the clouds the Dragons would
make the rain fall. Flowers and crops would grow.
The Dragons loved the people of the land and
watched over them day and night. Everyone was
safe and knew that while they were in the dragons'
favor they would have

. . . Life
. .. Peace
... Strength
