    A Chinese fable: Mr. She loves dragons

    Long long time ago there was a Chinese man named Mr. She. Dragon was his favourite animal. There were images of dragon everywhere he lived and everthing he used. His personal weapons were painted a dragon, his utensils carved with a dragon, on the walls of his bedroom were drawn dragons, on the columns of his house also dragons.

    The real dragon in heaven was pleased at the bottom of his heart to hear about Mr She and was eager to pay a personal visit of him.

    One day, the real dragon came to Mr. She's house, with his head extending through the window to take a look inside, with his tails spreading inside the guest room. At sight of the real dragon, however, Mr. She was almost frightened to death. He turned and ran away immediately, his soul almost lost, his face pale and his body shaking.

    Mr. She's behaviours showed that he did not love the real dragon, but instead only objects resembling the real dragon but not the real thing itself.

    In actual life, there are people who can offer oral support, express oral love towards something. However, when such a thing really happens or comes, they will be frightened.
