Sangi and the Dragon
Once, there was a hunter named Sangi.
Sangi walked by a big river. The water was deep and blue. He saw something in the river. It was a dragon. The dragon was very beautiful. Its scales were shiny and bright. They shone like the sun. The dragon was bathing in the water. Sangi hid behind a tall tree. He watched the dragon. He felt very curious. He did not make a sound. He just watched quietly.
Watching the dragon gave Sangi special power. He felt very strong inside. It was a magic power. The power came from seeing the dragon. Sangi felt happy and amazed. He now had a strong secret.
One day, Sangi told his friend. He shared his secret story. He explained how he got power. He told his friend about the dragon in the river. He said he watched it bathe. He said that is how he got his magic power.
Because he shared the secret, Sangi changed. He slowly became a dragon. His body grew long and new. He got shiny, bright scales. This happened because he broke trust. He told a secret that was not his to tell.
Now, Sangi is a dragon. He lives in the Sangi River. The river is his home now. He learned to keep secrets safe. He learned this the hard way. Keep the secrets that are trusted to you.
