Description/Notes
Frightened into sleeplessness by the noisy celebration of the Chinese New Year, a young girl takes comfort in her grandmother's soothing story of a dragon, a mother's sorrow, and Buddha. A Chinese grandmother explains to her frightened grandchild the origin of the noisy Dragon Dance at New Year's & how it was intended to frighten a real dragon who lived at the bottom of the sea. A young girl, frightened into sleeplessness by celebrations of the Chinese New Year outside her bedroom window, takes comfort in her grandmother's wise, soothing words as she tells of the origin of these festivities.
