The main character was a little boy named Han and there was the town that he lived in and then he found this dragon but it looked like a person but it was supposed to be a dragon. It was in China.

The horsemen were trying to defeat the country. I don't really know why. There were about three horsemen. There were maybe 11 puppets: the little boy, the Mandarin, the dragon, the pig, the army guy, and there was another adviser and then people—real people—that put on masks and did some things, so I guess that counts. I liked the pig. The pig was just oinking or snorting like talking to Han—and Han could understand the pig and answer the pig's questions so we could figure out what the pig said. I just sort of liked the pig.

They were just sort of walking along and the dragon just popped up in their way. It looked exactly like a person. Just a person. A girl. And she had a red robe on. But the dragon part of her was green. She turned into a dragon at the end. They made a head and put it on a stick and put streamers behind. She was a nice dragon. She blew all the wild horsemen away. She sort of helped the whole city. Han didn't really realize the dragon was fighting off the first horseman. He was there giving her the rice and she put out her stick and he just walked on up and she flung him off and Han didn't realize—he was just giving her the food.

There wasn't really a moral. I like stories without morals. Because sometimes the morals are really boring.
