DRAGON
	This giant animal has the skin of a reptile, the body of an elephant, the head of a horse, and the tail of a lizard. Among its many other charms, it breathes fire. It’s not your average household pet, but perhaps it should be. Some cultures think a dragon is a wise creature that brings good luck. Others think it is a dreadful monster that destroys things.
	Dragons are important in the myths of many Asian countries. They are wise and powerful creatures. They are associated with the gods and the emperors. They can give advice, and they represent good luck. However, they can also become angry when people don’t respect them. Then, they can become destructive. Dragons might cause big storms or damage people’s houses. It is important to treat dragons well to prevent their anger.
	In myths of Western countries, dragons are powerful, magical creatures, but they aren’t usually good. In many stories, they are evil creatures, and people fear them. They are large animals that resemble scary snakes with legs. They breathe fire. People don’t try to treat dragons well; they try to kill them.
	In some stories, dragons are good and wise. In others, they are evil monsters. Whether a dragon is good or evil, it is always a symbol of strength and magic. Long ago, some superstitious people believed myths that dragons’ blood could protect them from wounds.
