“There’s plenty of water in the sea, where we live,” said the Long
Dragon. “If we spray it into the sky, surely it will fall down like
rain. The people and the crops will be saved.”
“Very ______!” said the others.
“But if the Jade Emperor finds out, he might be angry,” the Long
Dragon warned. “He will think we took too much upon ourselves.”
“The people need us,” said the Yellow Dragon resolutely. “I will do
anything to help them.”
“We will ______ regret it,” said the Black Dragon.
So the four dragons scooped up water from the sea in their
mouths, and they flew over the land, spraying it everywhere.
Back and forth they went, until the clouds were dark and the sea
water ______ onto the earth as rain. The withered crops began to
straighten up and grow green again.
People down below cheered and leapt with joy. “It’s raining,
it’s raining! We are saved!”
Soon, the Jade Emperor figured out what the dragons had
done. “How dare those ______ dragons give rain without my
permission!“ He was very angry. He sent his armies and all his
heavenly generals to arrest the four dragons.
