    A man who feared death met a Chinese dragon that could live forever. The dragon took the man to an island where no one died. The man discovered the residents were unhappy, as they bought poison in a futile attempt to end their endless lives. The man asked to return home, and the dragon confirmed he now understood that immortality was not desirable. People in China now say they are happy with their mortal lives when they see dragons.

    The Man who wanted to live Forever


    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.”
