DRAGONS AROUND THE WORLD

Wherever you live, you have probably heard of dragons. Dragons

from the East are different from those from the West.

In the East people value dragons for their magic, beauty and

power. They are respected and used in parades. Dragons are

made of many different animal qualities and parts. A dragon

symbolizes heroism and not so much danger or threat. It is seen

as a protector. The Chinese have the year of the dragon, and it

is said that people born in this year will be healthy, wealthy, and

wise. They live in places with lot of water (lakes, rivers, seas).

In the West dragons are viewed as monsters and are said to

breathe fire. These dragons try to kill people who get near them

with fire. They also have great wings and sharp claws. They live

in deserts, caves or even in fire.

Dragons are different in both cultures because people have

never seen one, only heard stories and descriptions of them.
