Introduction:
You don't have to imagine Little Dragon Girl's excitement when she flies with her family back to her birthplace in China, Little Dragon Island, because she narrates her own story delightfully. It's Lantern Festival time; anticipation grows as festival morning comes with drums, firecrackers, and gongs. It's her own Dad who fills the dragon head for the celebrations and guides the golden dragon through the streets. Families share delectable homemade tangyuan , dress in costumes, and head for evening at the lake. Along with Grandpa, Little Dragon Girl fully experiences the wonder of the festival; out on the lake, they feed tangyuan to glorious jumping golden carp. "They want to turn into dragons!" Grandpa tells her. Can you imagine what Little Dragon Girl dreams of that night? She dreams she is a golden carp flying in the air, a new dragon. With this lovely image, she ends her story, adding only that she can't wait to return to Little Dragon Island next year.
