Stop taking medicine, eat candy

There is a golden dragon on the Gem Mountain, its body is as huge as two peaks, its tail looks like a curved ridge when it is sleeping, and its wings cover the sky as if it is about to rain when its wings are fully spread.When it spreads its wings and wants to fly, the wind blows and all the beasts run away, just like a catastrophe like a volcanic eruption.

The dragon sleeps most of the time, nothing in this world can hurt it, and nothing can kill it.It grows naturally like a mountain, and has never felt any pain or joy from this world.

Until one spring, the roses on Gem Mountain bloomed so well that the dragon was awakened from his sleep by the strong fragrance.

"Ah!" It sneezed heavily, and a large wave of red flowers flew away.Small animals foraging in the jungle were buried in a sea of ​​rose petals at a loss.

"You've knocked off my leaves!" said a small voice angrily.

"Who, who is speaking?" the dragon roared, its voice was as loud as thunder in the sky.

"It's me! I'm right here." The little voice replied.

"Aha?" The dragon lowered his head in doubt, and saw a low hill right under his nose, on which a slender rose swayed with its breath.

It is just budding, with layers of bright red petals wrapped in sweet stamens, surrounded by emerald green leaves, like guards guarding their noble king.

"You are so small," said the dragon, "I could crush you with one toe."

"You should never break a flower. I have never done anything wrong, and I still have a pleasant fragrance." The rose swayed its slender body.

"It's your scent that makes me want to sneeze," the dragon complained loudly.

"If my scent makes you uncomfortable." Rose apologized, "then I can't help it. After all, it's beyond my control."

"Then what use are you for?" The dragon looked at it contemptuously, "Look at you, you have neither sharp claws nor sharp teeth, and you don't even have scales to protect yourself."

The rose smiled softly, "I don't need those things. I have a bright red color, a soft and lovely figure, and a rich and pleasant fragrance. Everyone likes me."

"They'll just pick you off and put you in a vase." The dragon mocked, "You don't know anything."

"Even in a vase, I will be very happy, because I know that I am useful. Me, I look forward to the day when someone picks it off." Rose whispered.

When it finished speaking, it found that the dragon fell asleep again.The warm breath passed like a gale through the tops of the pine trees in Jewel Hill, and through the leaves of the roses, making them rustle.

When the midsummer was about to end, the dragon woke up again from his deep sleep.The rose is still in its original place, and its originally tightly closed petals have fully bloomed at this time, and transparent drops of water hang on the layers of gorgeous petals.

"You're awake." Rose said happily, "I've been thinking about you all the time."

The dragon yawned, it was still sleepy.

"What's the matter with you?" the dragon asked.

"I've been blooming all summer, and now I'm thanking you," said the rose in a soft, husky tone, and the dew on its petals at night glistened like tears.

"Ah, so will you drive here next year?"

"No, there will be new roses on Gem Mountain next year, but that won't be me." Rose said.

The dragon tilted its huge head, and he had forgotten how long he had lived.It was long enough for him to lose his notion of death.

"Okay." He shook his huge wings carefully, shaking off the thick layer of dirt on them.

"In my life, you are the only creature that has spoken to me, and I like you very much." The rose said sadly, shaking its still green leaves.

"Then do you still want to be picked off by humans and put into a vase?" the dragon asked.

"No, I don't have time now, no one wants a dying rose."

"I think you're still pretty," said the dragon pertinently.

"Thank you." Rose said sweetly. "If you're going to leave, please take me off and take it with you. You've been smelling me to sleep all summer, and you won't be used to being away from me."

The dragon moved its huge webbed claws, troubled by its overly large body for the first time.

"My claws are too big to break you, but they can't pick you off," he complained.

"I have a way."

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the rose fluttered down from the green branches with the force of the wind, and fell into the gap between the scales on the dragon's chest.It deftly changed its posture, and then the dragon stretched its body and spread its wings, and they set off towards the human kingdom.

Whenever the giant dragon's huge wings stretch out, a large cloud-like shadow will be cast on the ground.Animals and humans on the ground ran around, as if a catastrophe had occurred.

On the first day they left, they came to the Kingdom of Thorns on the west side of the continent.It is full of tall thorn trees everywhere, and people have to work hard to carve narrow roads through the thorns, so the clothes are all in tatters.The barren land here cannot support any plants except the thorn tree. People rely on the fruit of the thorn tree for food and build their houses on the branches of the thorn tree.

"These people are so pitiful." Rose sighed hoarsely on the dragon's chest. "They have never seen a single flower in their life."

"People need food and water to live, but they can live well without roses." The dragon snorted, and it didn't even stop here.

On the second day after leaving, they came to the Rose Kingdom in the middle of the continent.The rose kingdom is full of flowers of various colors, the most of which are bright red roses.People wore beautiful silk robes, played melodious music and read gorgeous poems day and night.

"The people here are so happy," said the rose again. "I like here."

"Do you regret not driving here?"

"No." The rose's voice became even hoarse, and the edges of its petals began to dry and fade, which was a sign that it was about to wither. "If I were in the kingdom of roses, I would be just an ordinary rose. But now I am your rose."

The dragon ate a hundred goats here, and then flew eastward.

On the third day, they came to the Golden Kingdom.Glittering gold is used to build houses here, white crystal is used for lighting, transparent and dazzling diamonds are paved on the roads, and people are all dressed gorgeously like kings.

When they saw the dragon, they all shouted, "That evil dragon is coming again!"

It turns out that the gem mountain where the dragon sleeps is accumulated from the wealth plundered from the Golden Kingdom. People here hate this dragon very much.They brought out from the king's castle a huge spear that had been cursed by a wizard, and shot at the dragon.

It was difficult for these beasts to break through the dragon's scales, but the wizard's spell gave it great power.An arrow just hit the dragon's chest and pierced the rose to the dragon's heart.

The dragon flapped its wings angrily, roared and spit out scorching dragon flames, which melted the king's castle, streets and houses into boiling golden water.

Then it flew away from the Golden Kingdom, and the golden dragon's blood poured down like rain. It finally landed on a hill far away from the human world, with its wings drooping wearily.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked with a trembling voice, and the dragon's blood dyed its original bright red petals into gold.

The dragon didn't speak, it was so tired that it fell asleep in a blink of an eye.In his sleep, the dragon smelled the strong aroma of roses again, which made him sleep even more deeply.

When he woke up again, a thick layer of mud had accumulated on his body, and when he moved lightly, the decayed penis fell from his chest.

The dragon called Rose softly, but did not receive any response.

It lay on the hill and cried sincerely for the first time in its life. For the withering of the rose that belonged to it, hot tears flowed down the ridge like a river.

At this moment, a sweet scent of roses came.

The giant dragon looked down, and saw a bright red rose like a specimen printed on his chest that had been pierced by a gun, growing together with its flesh and blood.

"So you are here." It suddenly realized, and then bowed its head and kissed his rose with the most gentle force.

It flew back to the Gem Mountain with the rose on its wings, and never went to the kingdom of man again.
