of the village?
Answers
Answer:
The story begins with ''once upon a time,'' because, the author says, ''the best stories do,'' and proceeds to lyrically describe the setting of the village at the center of the tale: ''a steep sided valley cluttered with giant, spiky green pine trees and thick, green grass that reaches to the top of your socks so that when you run...''
The people of the valley are happy, work hard, keep things tidy, and take good care of their children.
The problem is, the weather is hot - unbearably hot, in fact: ''By two o'clock in the afternoon, the town would be in a haze of slumber, with grandmas nodding off over their knitting and farmers snoozing in the haystacks.'' Nevertheless, it doesn't stop the children from playing and having a good time.
The Rock
One of the most favorite spots in town, for children and adults alike, is a ''large, long, scaly rock that looks amazingly similar to a sleeping dragon.'' The children like to play on it, while the adults use it as a setting for chopping firewood or hosting a weaving group.
The legend of the dragon rock, turned into a poem handed down through the years, is this: ''In Times of Trouble, The Dragon will Wake, And Free the Village, By making a Lake.'' And, indeed, the valley found itself in a time of trouble: it has not rained for a very long time. The wells were running dry and everything was turning to a hot, dry brown.
